Like so many others, I was devastated to learn that David Bowie had passed. He mastered so many genres of music, and crafted several groundbreaking personae along the way, including Ziggy Stardust, Aladdin Sane, and The Man Who Fell To Earth, to name a few.
While so many artists seemed content to raise a finger to determine which way musical tastes were blowing, Bowie was always a step ahead, charting an unknown course and dancing to the beat of his own drum. Though some of his artistic forays were commercial failures, all of them were on the bleeding edge of musical expression and had immeasurable impact on the entire industry. His like will never come this way again, and he is sorely missed. Godspeed, Mr. Bowie, Godspeed.
