Music for your Midweek: David Bowie - Everything


He was a beauty


They keep taking down his infamous 1979 SNL performance, sorry folks. If you get the chance to watch it, it's a gem. Instead you get a screenshot and audio. Use your imagination I guess:



I went to see "best comedy" of the year, The Martian a couple days ago as an unintentional David Bowie commemoration. They used this song in the film and I almost teared up. This one would probably have been too on the nose, I guess. If you're a glutton for punishment, click here to go back in time to when another one of his songs made me cry.

Saturday Verse: "Love is a place" - E.E. Cummings

LOVE IS A PLACE

love is a place
& through this place of
love move
(with brightness of peace)
all places
yes is a world
& in this world of
yes live
(skillfully curled)
all worlds

                                           — E.E. Cummings
