re: Thin White Duke dead at 69

Just look around the internet and look at all the positive comments from artists across all genres on Bowie's death. His music wasn't for everyone, but he touched a LOT of lives in the artistic world, and by all accounts he was a good human being.


He also kept his illness under wraps and made one last album to say goodbye, in true Bowie fashion. So I think the unexpectedness of his death has ramped up the reactions.
