Anyone who has a Facebook account knows that David Bowie died last week. In fact I’d never seen such huge outpouring on Facebook for the death of a celebrity. Although Alan Rickman who passed away a few days later came a close second.

We live in a world that it is harder and harder to tell fact from fiction apart. I think that is the type of world that brought a smile to Bowie’s lips.

I have met very few people who didn’t like David Bowie. Sure a lot of people were not jazzed about some parts of his long career. That is because he changed so many times…
