RIP David Bowie

David Bowie is dead, of cancer, I held out hope of it being a publicity stunt, I still do if I am being honest, but I don't actually believe that at this point.

I am slightly upset by this, which is strange to me as I don't actually care too much for his music, I don't hate it, and I like much of it, but I rarely seek anything of his out and I wouldn't put him in virtually any list of favorite musicians or anything. He was just sort of there, and I guess that was comforting in some odd way to me that there was this incredibly strange man doing neat things and not giving a fuck, and that he was loved by basically everyone.

I am not going to write up his history or cultural impact, that will and is being done by thousands as we speak, each tripping over themselves to make sure we know that they know how important he was, and to let us all know exactly how influential they personally found him, and I just can't do that, he wasn't to me.

Yet despite that, the world feels a slightly less bright place without him in it.

Rest In Peace.
