However, my adoration has been unabated ever since - check out the <a href="https://jon-doloresdelargo.blogspot.co.uk/search/label/David%20Bowie" rel="nofollow">long history of blog tributes to the great man</a> over at my regular blog <em>Give 'em the old Razzle Dazzle</em>, if you have the time (there's a lot!). I am still bereft at his loss.

I was a little kid who was entertained by the Goblin King and his minions.<br /><br />When I got older, just a preteen, I stumbled across my cool brother's records. He was much older than us young'uns. He'd grown up and moved out to live on his own then. I was intrigued by the album art--back then, album art really was art!<br /><br />I played the first record, and I was blown away by Space Oddity (1969)! It was a revelation. And I spent the rest of that rainy day going through those records and making other incredible discoveries. Bowie's sound was just unlike any other I've ever heard before. It was so futuristic and fantastic and otherworldly. And I was blown away to discover the Goblin King from the movie was first and foremost, a musician! And an extraordinarily talented and most creative one! Been a fan ever since.eroswingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06678990077292314028noreply@blogger.com
