David Bowie passes, age 69

[abaris]

Yeah, like a lot of us here on AF, I'm in mourning.

I'm not in mourning, since I didn't know him. I'm sad that another great artist is silenced forever. But I guess, people of my generation have to live with the fact that the idols of their youth have long entered the senior citizen stage. It's only a matter of a rather short time until they die. And frankly, I'm surprised that some of them are still alive. Looking at you, Keith Richards.
