Never a fan. But I appreciated his musicianship. RIP Davy Jones. |

What a surprise. I was just reading reviews of his new Blackstar album which were pretty good. I wasn't a big fan either, but he was one inventive guy. RIP. |

Terrific artist in so many ways. He would have kept musically reinventing himself even longer if he had the chance. |

Funny, I listened to the Best of the Monkees album yesterday for no reason, it might have been 15 years since I had played it. I guess the name change didn't help with the confusion. |

The Confederate soldier was peculiar in that he was ever ready to fight, but never ready to submit to the routine duty and discipline of the camp or the march. The soldiers were determined to be soldiers after their own notions, and do their duty, for the love of it, as they thought best. Carlton McCarthy | |

A huge talent of his times reinventing himself right to the end. Damn fine actor in own right as well. Check out Merry Christmas, Mr Lawrence. Will have to play my copy of Hunk Dory. One of my favourite all time rock albums. R.I.P. |

I suspect lung cancer at his age. He was a smoker. |

Never a fan. He always gave me the impression of being a vampire. |

Identifying narcissists isn't difficult. Just look for the person who is constantly fishing for compliments and admiration while breaking down over even the slightest bit of criticism. We have the freedom to choose our actions, but we do not get to choose our consequences. | |

The latest is that the family has not yet shared the kind of cancer. He had been in failing health for quite a while, and retired from touring in Oct. |

I'm sorry to hear of his death, even though I loathe "Major Tom" more than any music ever written by anybody. |

I don't mean this in a bad way but I've been surprised at the reaction to this. I saw it as 'ok, aging pop star died. A little premature, but he did his three score and ten, so not a tragedy. RIP Mr Popstar.' Then I go online and it's like a Beatle died almost. I just never saw him in this light. |

I agree, Jon. But, perhaps the reaction is because he's one of the last of the breed. As I said, I was never a fan, but when you lump him in with the likes of Jagger, McCartney, etc., it makes it seem like there's no one left from that era. |

He wasn't that much of a big deal, ever. Apparently he slept with men and women both, and was almost insatiable. So you have to admit the headline.. "David Bowie Dead at 69" does have a tad bit of ironic humor to be found in it... |

I think maybe he's better known outside the US than he is here. I was never a big fan, personally, but I know people in the UK who are hugely into him, so it's big news over there, and let's face it, most American media people secretly want to be English, hence their excitement. |

He's not on this list (greatest selling albums). Even the Spice Girls, the freaking Spice Girls, sold more albums than he did. RIAA Top 100 Albums: http://www.riaa.com/gold-platinum/?tab_active=top_tallies&ttt=T1A#search_section Nope, no Bowie there either. Shania Twain beats him (she was almost as pretty). That's not to say anything about artistry (which I never understood), but huge? GMAFB. |
