Any Bowie fans out there?

I could easily sing 10 Dylan songs (as most people could) but not one from the past 20 years . Please pop a youtube clip of a hit song of Dylan from the past 20 years that is good and some people apart from the music press and die-hard fans will know.

in other words...

if you don't... I'm right, ner ner ner nerner

Contrast that with say Bowie in recent years, a couple of studio albums that sols 25,000 copies to die hard fans that just buy all he produces through loyalty and all his output ignored by the radio and public. None of you can come up with a decent track to post when asked which rather proves the point.

It seems you missed my post. The Bowie single I mentioned from 2013, 'The Stars (Are Out Tonight)', was played on Planet Rock (where I first heard it) and at least Radio 2 for the BBC, both national radio stations. That song has over 7,000,000 views on both YouTube and Vevo. I love Bowie's music but I'm not a die hard fan and I bought 'The Next Day'. In fact it's so good it got me interested in Bowie's other 21st century music that I'd not paid much attention to before.

I had the misfortune to listen to his covers album... therapy is helping.

The cynic in me says the royalties from the now airplay must be astounding...

I am sure his relatives would swap all the cash for another few days to be with him.

....saw him in concert back in '83 at Milton Keynes bowl - 'serious moonlight' tour. He was all zoot-suited as I remember, and what you might call mainstream at that point....

Me too.

That this is not the thread for your cynical comments. A man has died. RIP.

I'm certain it was my adoration of David Bowie that led to the big romance of my life resulting in our >30 year marriage. Heterochromia. It's an exceptionally rare condition but Bowie had it and it took me a while to understand what it was with that student nurse's eyes. She had (and still has - obviously)one blue eye and one green eye.
