Rest in Peace Major Tom. You will be missed.

Some zoo named a newborn penguin after him because the penguin hatched on Friday, his birthday.

I think he released a new album.

Not my era of music, but it's sad when some one dies so young.

No kidding. Woke up & heard the overnight news. Still have a CD of his greatest hits, listened to it while getting ready for work.

Very sad. RIP Mr. Bowie/Jones.

I've still got a VCR tape of the "Serious Moonlight Tour 1983" at home. Some great stuff on that tape.
