I gather Bowie was one of the great performers of my generation. He was always there in the background, portrayed as a minor deity. Upon his demise I listened to some of his work, realizing that I’d practically never heard what he’d done, only that he was out there and very important in the niche he occupied.
Kudos to David Bowie, being wildly successful, being a true achiever in his occupation. I can understand the prolonged adulation & distress among those who followed him
Success does not, however, mean everyone knew who he was beyond mere celebrity status.

Wow, you must be VERY cool, can I hang out with you at your next cocktail party?
