    Maybe rather than firing Davids ashes in a firework the guy could be allowed to disperse on the next shuttle to the international space station, not risk of grit in the eyes then...image

    David Bowie WAS just a man.

    Then again, so were Shakespeare, Mozart and Picasso. 

    The difference between them and us, is that they have left behind a body of work which pleased, pleases and will continue to please long after we've gone.

    Maybe whoever posted " he was just a man" might be kind enough to tell us their gift to humanity.

    I think that coupled with his amazing catalogue of great music, David Bowie's greatest legacy is that he gave individuals the courage to be different, and therefore to be themselves. 

    His success validated the life of every teenager who felt that they didn't fit in; that they didn't belong; and moved this country a long way along the path to being the tolerant and accepting place that it has become image

    That is what has moved so many people this week.

    I found out this morning that David was privately cremated in New York just two days after his death. There was no funeral and no family or friends were present.. Bizarre as he was in life..  Maybe he will be on the next shuttle to the space station after all..

    A quote from David to finish this thread 

    As you get older, the questions come down to about two or three. How long? And what do I do with the time I've got left?
