David Bowie: Blackstar

It’s been over 5 years, how much freakin’ longer will it be before I can watch this without sobbing like a fool when he’s in the attic singing, in the middle? Apparently, today is not the day.
Jesus, this whole thing is fucking brilliant.

His work was always a feast for the eyes, as well as for the ears.

Why he had to die - and bags of shit like Nugent (who's about his same age) are still with us - we'll never know.

The universe has a wicked sense of humor, Bowie might tell us.
