2016 was rough for music fans. We lost far too many artists this year…Prince, Merle Haggard, Phife Dawg, Leonard Cohen, Sharon Jones…damn.

But losing David Bowie hit me the hardest.

I still find it hard to believe. How is Bowie gone? He’s Ziggy Stardust, The Thin White Duke, Major Tom, Aladdin Sane, The Man Who Fell to Earth, Nikola Tesla, The Goblin King.

We’re lucky he gave us some many great years and so much good music, because there will never be another artist like Bowie. Never. Bowie was one-of-a-kind and only Bowie could leave us the way he did. On his terms.

Thanks for giving us Blackstar on your way out. I’ll miss you, star man.
