sometimes i remember that we live in a world without david bowie
sometimes i remember that we live in a world without lemmy
then i realize at one time we had kerouac, bukowski, and thompson all creating at one time
the world was countless typewriter ribbons and a thousand gallons of whiskey lighter, but oh what a world it must have been
and now there is no mitch hedberg to lighten the load
no bill hicks to scream at us into gales of.laughter
we will never hear maya angelou’s take on the state of the world
then i remember that we live in a world without david bowie
and i wonder how the earth still manages to make itself spin
😔 bowie and lemmy 4 life

Very well crafted. There are so many posts across all social media platforms about David Bowie right now. I feel it’s often not just about the music/art/writing/acting/ballet etc…of these much treasured folks. It seems to me to be about their personality, their character and how this touched us personally so we have a personal relationship with the person from Camus to Picasso, Freddie Mercury and so on. When they die, part of us dies too. 😊

I agree. These larger than life creative forces leave a void that is not easily filled.

Yes indeed. Others emerge. Different of course.

I seriously miss David every day. He is like the only celebrity artist I feel deeply connected to… still. David was a cock among little ding-dongs, in more ways than one. What a beautiful human/alien. He was my people all the way. 👽🙌

The passing of the age of fear and loathing and filth and fury and scarred strangled stardusted banners. The joke’s over. The generation of swine prevailed.
