The Aladdin Sane album is the one Debs got me into, big-time, and I spent the best part of a week in a bit of a state. Listened to the Blackstar album while cycling from Exwick to Countess Wear and back through the drizzle on Sunday and the mood fit perfectly, albeit in a much less mawkish way than this implies. Cliches like "Dark Masterpiece/Swansong" are actually spot-on. I see the humour in his parting gift and totally get the joke. Delivery and timing. Boom tish. Genius is not too strong a word in this case. His work is done and he will continue to inspire generations to come. Thanks Dave!styubudnoreply@blogger.com
