Bowie was phenomenal in the aging scenes


It is hard for a young man to play an older/old man without going over the top, but Bowie did it brilliantly. You could literally feel the pain in John's body, the failing muscles, the twitches, the ever-coarsening voice -- every gesture was spot-on.

He is missed.

He was amazing. He's missed. We were privileged to see him rise.

He was first and foremost an amazing actor. His entire music career was an act he pulled off brilliantly. All around talent. Indeed, all of us alive today have been lucky to have existed in the same time-space continuum and experienced his work i real time. I still smarts. I'm not prepared for Jan 2017... Sigh...
