I couldn't believe it when I woke up this morning to the news that David Bowie had passed away. Because there had been so many celebrity death hoaxes, I started checking other news outlets. Not good.
What better thing to do than to do a little Sunday afternoon YouTube action with my all time favorite artist, David Bowie? This time, it's one of the best songs in Bowie's entire catalog.
I've been a big fan of David Bowie ever since high school. True, I didn't appreciate his less mainstream stuff as intensely as I do now until I had been in college a couple of years, but it's not an inaccurate to characterize the effect of David Bowie's art on my life as significant.

Happy Festivus for the rest of us.
