I am deeply saddened by the loss of David Bowie. His kind of unique musical genius is the kind of thing that comes around once in a generation, if we're lucky. He could coax and shape not just notes, but music as an art form to create something beautiful. The fact that he was making music right until the end proved that he still had so much to offer the world. I don't think that it's a big secret that he heavily influenced my own sense of style quite a bit. I'm not a huge music person, but when I heard David Bowie for the first time, I knew that he was something to care about. My entire identity as a music listener was shaped by him.
I can only hope that he's waiting in the sky, and that he'd like to come and meet us.
