If I had a nickel for every time I’ve heard it…

 

“Omigosh!  Has anyone ever told you you look like DAVID BOWIE?!”

I met him once—tall and slender, ethereal and striking.  He had warm, dry hands with long fingers.  There was something otherworldly about him; an electric stillness that made him stand out and blend at the same time, a creature both stunning and stealthy.  

It’s surreal to hear his name in context of mourning.  Artist and visionary, extraordinary and extraterrestrial.  And now that he’s gone, what was once a compliment carries an emptiness, a hollow.   

To be so unique, fearless and dedicated to one’s life in and as art is a brilliant aspiration.  Back to the stars, sir.  You’re missed.
