David Bowie

Wow......the old guard rock icons are really dropping. David Bowie now. The real shocker there being that no one in the general public knew of his illness. His camp must've had some tight security!

While I can't claim to being a huge Bowie fan, I did hold the man in very high regard....and dug many of his tunes, too. Rick Wakeman once remarked how Bowie was a highly principled businessman; he kept the "Hunky Dory" sessions running smoothly and on time.

As far as his acting career went....well, I think it speaks to his iconhood that very few roles would he be believable in. I thought his casting as Tesla in "The Prestige" was perfect.

RIP, Mr. Jones.
