Nathan FosterRe: David BowieWhat an icon, spanning across generations including children. Riley is only 9 but listens to quite a bit of Bowie (whether she likes it or not)- quite sold on the movie Labyrinth and soundtrack.Bowie, Phil Collins, the Police and so many other UK greats. Everybody is getting on a bit now. UB40 are here in New Plymouth at the moment I think. |

mark korteRe: David BowieAnd you are not there......?Amen to what you both have shared. It has become de rigueur for rockers of that age to publish memoirs - Pete Townshend, Neil Young, Keith Richards...I suspect a Bowie memoir may have been a bit overwhelming! At any rate. we will all join him. |

Warwick MarflittRe: David BowieThe words to his song Changes. They have meaningto many of life's situations "Load development" is all about changes. Oh, yeah Mmm Still don't know what I was waitin' for And my time was runnin' wild A million dead end streets and Every time I thought I'd got it made It seemed the taste was not so sweet So I turned myself to face me But I've never caught a glimpse of How the others must see the faker I'm much too fast to take that test Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes Turn and face the strange Ch-ch-changes Don't want to be a richer man Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes Turn and face the strange Ch-ch-changes Just gonna have to be a different man Time may change me But I can't trace time Mmm, yeah I watch the ripples change their size But never leave the stream Of warm impermanence So the days float through my eyes But still the days seem the same And these children that you spit on As they try to change their worlds Are immune to your consultations They're quite aware of what they're goin' through Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes Turn and face the strange Ch-ch-changes Don't tell them to grow up and out of it Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes Turn and face the strange Ch-ch-changes Where's your shame You've left us up to our necks in it Time may change me But you can't trace time Strange fascination, fascinatin' Ah, changes are takin' The pace I'm goin' through Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes Turn and face the strange Ch-ch-changes Oh, look out you rock 'n' rollers Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes Turn and face the strange Ch-ch-changes Pretty soon now you're gonna get older Time may change me But I can't trace time I said that time may change me But I can't trace time |
