So, apparently he's awesome.
I've just been listening to some of his stuff - and I know, like, most of it. He's one of the musicians who you listen to the music of and realise you recognise all of it, without realising it's his.
I think he must've passed me by before, because I've never properly listened to him (and I'm somewhat ashamed to say that the only reason I've really started listening to him is thanks to Life on Mars)
He makes me happy, though.
Ok, so he's not new, and I suppose there is a limit to what you can discuss in relation to him - but yes, I wanted to express his awesomeness!
David Bowie is awesome. Question though; how do you pronounce his surname? We pronounce is like Bahwie, but some people pronounce it Bohwie. So he called his son Zowie? Zowie Bowie? So I say Zahwie Bahwie, but some people are like... Zoe Bohwie. K... sorry.
Zowie, is that where your name comes from?
Anyway, yeah I got into his music from Life on Mars too. I don't know loads of it, though. My favourites are Space Oddity, Changes, Life on Mars, Starman, Ziggy Stardust, Suffragette City and Rebel Rebel.
<3 the Bowie man. I'd say it's Boe-ee the way you pronounce it. It's a bit like Hugh Laurie - everyone pronounces it Lorry but I'd say it how it's spelt a bit like Law-rie
I pronounce it Bo-ee too, usually in his voice if I can get the impression right =p
I love that other people appreciate the Bowster, he makes me happy, but when I start carping on about him and singing Ziggy Stardust I get ignored =[ haha.
Favourite songs = Life on mars?, Ziggy Stardust, Golden Years, Changes, Diamond Dogs.
