Ashes to ashes, funk to funky We know Major Tom's a junkie Strung out in heaven's high Hitting an all-time low

Rest in peace.

The lyrics to his apocalyptic “Cygnet Committee” are more timely than ever, perhaps in ways he wasn’t thinking at the when he wrote them.

[ChildOfThe60s]

I saw the Spiders from Mars tour at the Orlando Jai Alai fronton in Fern Park - 1973, I’m thinking. Great venue in those days.

Diamond Dogs was the last LP I liked.

[BobinIL]

One of my all time favorites. He was eccentric but his late 70’s and 80’s hits are on the top of my playlist. Very sad day.

[equaviator]

I thought I saw you
In an ice cream parlor
Drinking milkshakes cold and long
Smiling and waving and looking so fine
I don’t think you knew you were in this song

[Rummyfan]

MFLR.

[PrincessB]

We talk about the lyrics and the music, however the man had a beautiful voice. His drummer boy with Bing Crosby is amazing.

[McGruff]

What a waste of bandwidth.

[Autonomous User]

With his life style I alway thought he’d catch “the Bug” and it would take him out, not cancer.

Talented artist. RIP Ziggy

Yeah, clicking on threads you’re not interested in is kind of pointless.

[SamAdams76]

Well I appreciate the thread. We are a community here on Free Republic and it doesn't have to be politics 100% of the time.

There are a lot of other non-political threads here that don't interest me and I just stay off of them.

[McGruff]

Isn’t there some MTV groupy forum you can all cry on. This forum is about politics.

"LA disc jockey and music industry insider Rodney Bingenheimer scoffed at later attempts to downplay the relationship between Jagger and Bowie. "Mick and David were lovers, of course," he said. "They didn't exactly make a secret of it."

Pop culture drives politics as much as anything else. I think discussing pop culture when it comes to the passing of culture icons is a relevant matter.
