    All I have to say is that life is stranger than fiction. Hollywood is envious, they wish they could write half of the shit that happens in the world. For better or for worse, things happens for a reason.

    Hard to say. He was a chameleon.
    Life on Mars, Suffragette City, Heroes, Ashes to Ashes, Queen Bitch, Young Americans.

    Nobody in rock history took on as many influences as Bowie. You would guess by his various wardrobe changes alone, that he had a thousand personalities. Whatever music he was writing at the time was a symptom of the changes he was going through. A genius to say the least.

    I think the only I really recognize is



    which is from zoolander, but I heard it in other spots. Never heard the other songs before but they sound pretty good.

    I use the word "great" when I talk about some musicians, but that's not a good enough term to describe David Bowie. His music was fantastic and he was one of the best showmen ever.

    His music is already classic. He will never be forgotten.
