David Bowie Would Have Been 74 Today.

Today would have been David Bowies 74th birthday. Of course we lost him 5 years ago this Sunday. I’ve been a fan for quite a while and have seen him live several times including in October of 72′ at the Auditorium Theater. It was the Ziggy Stardust Tour and I have to say that album “The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and The Spiders From Mars” has always been my fav. Just great rock n roll and great tunes from beginning to end. I was fortunate enough to be present at Mantra Studios on March 28th, 1977, for the very first WKQX Studio Jam with Bowie and Iggy Pop. Now there’s a dynamic duo. Truly an amazing evening. David Bowie was one of the most diverse and interesting people I have ever come across and to appreciate him sometimes you had to take a step or two back and just observe. Below is a photo from that night and an interesting piece done on Bowie.
