It was november 19th when I pre-ordered the cd. After The next day, I wasn't especting so much from Bowie, I thought he was only doing some cd's for the hard die fans, like me. So last friday on his birthday was a normal day for me, I used my favorite Bowie's t-shirt and I listened his music all day, just like a ritual.
At monday night I was making business with some signed cd's that I got from the leader of a swedish metal band, I remember I slept until 12:10 in the morning, I use to turn off my wi-fi in my ipad and I turn off the cellphone, I don't like to be disturbed at nights. When I woke up monday morning the first thing I did was to turn on the wi-fi conection in my ipad and inmediately facebook and messenger shown the notifications. More than 10 in facebook and three messages in nmessenger, I read them nad I couldn't believe them, Bowie was death, he was really death.
When I was 11-12, I began to listening rock music, specially heavy metal, I was influenced by my brothers, they loved heavy metal. Well, I remember when I was 14, I was cleaning my room, I was bored of Mtv because they were playing music more comercial that I didn't like. By that time in the cable there was a chanel called Film and arts, and there was "El mes del rock and roll" and there were passing some 60's and 70's concerts, films, etc, well, that morning was the first time I listened Bowie, that was the first time I listened the Spiders from Mars, it was a cover from the rolling stones "let´s spend the night together"... It was so fucking amazing, inmediately I got caught of that amazing sound, Trevor Bolder bass lines, Ronson's guitar, Ziggy Stardust!!! Everything changed in my life, before that I was so closed minded talking about music, after that and after buying more and more music from Bowie, somebody who was constantly changing his music, adapting to the new generations, that was the key for me to listen a lot of more good music.
He was my hero, he was one of my favorite musicians.
I really will miss him, I've always wanted to go to a Bowie's concert.
Anyway, the man has died, the legend has borned. But he was a legend himself, he was a god, he was the only rockstar who probably took the risk to kill his career (Ziggy Stardust, Major Tom, Soulman, etc) and when everybody thought he was ran out of ideas, he appeared with something new, something fresh, something good...
Rest in peace David Robert Jones...
