David Bowie

There is a lot of media buzz about Bowie's death.  It seemed sudden and he was only 69. His fans, many of whom were about his age, were not ready for this Music Icon to die.  Why does this hit us so hard?  Well, many people escaped the day to day real world by losing themselves in a Bowie concert or identified with his best music/lyrics.  Bowie, like other rock stars or performers helps us to live our life, but not to face our inevitable death.  Bowie's death makes us realize that our diversions or escapes, or entertainments are not permanent.  Bowie was rich, famous and talented.  It could not keep him from dying.  I am 72.  What am I doing fo today?  Or am I focused on the future only?  One thing we cannot procrastinate….death.  Why get depressed?  You have the gift of today.
