Agreed. I was one of perhaps THE original fanboy in Austin, 1971. I think there was about three of us. The Beatles had broken up, I badly needed a new hero and he was it.
There is a new album, BLACKSTAR, which is apparently laden with mortality, and is getting very good reviews. It actually took Bowie a long time to really catch on in the states. I was lucky enough to see a pristine 70mm print of THE MAN WHO FELL TO EARTH at the Inwood Theater in Dallas. I saw the Diamond Dogs tour in Memphis, the last date which had the enormous sets that were abandoned. I also saw him in Houston, touring behind Station to Station and again in Austin on the Serious Moonlight Tour.
