Episode 21: The David Bowie Episode

On this week's episode, all I do is talk about David Bowie and what he means to me for an hour, in recognition of the second anniversary of his death.  That's pretty much it, but so far, this is one of my favorite episodes.  Lots to look at in the below, too!  But to start, here's the player:



No time indexes this week, since it's just the one subject.  But here are a bunch of photos/screen-caps with captions.

**Some** of my Bowie collection.

A cool poster that I bought and framed. It hangs in my living room. I tried to track down the artist's name and failed, but I'm going to keep looking and I'll update once I've found it.

The ticket for the one and only Bowie show I ever attended.

How I found out about the "Next Day" album. It was a low-time in my life, and just the thought of there being a new Bowie record lifted my spirits a lot.

See?

It turned out that I made it to that March!

"Blackstar" on the day I bought it.

Proof that I liked it BEFORE he died, just in case anyone thinks I'm a vulture...
