h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Considering that I didn't listen to all his music constantly, it is amazing how it turns out, above all other things, to be the second soundtrack to my life (after The Beatles)

I was completely unaware that he'd been ill (or about the rather public heart attack) because I prefer not to "know" my heroes (in case they turn out to be eejits). So I had been wondering if he'd tour again.

Sadly not

No, I didn't know that he was ill either. I was fortunate enough to see him live over a decade ago, as well as musically he was in 'Labyrinth', which was one of my favourite films as a child.

I've never seen that. It will probably be on TV any day now

I did see Merry Christmas, Mr Lawrence though, and The Hunger. The former made me cry buckets, the latter made me cringe.

It'll probably be on soon, it's usually on around Easter or Bank Holidays.

David Bowie is very memorable, not only his performance but also his hair and trousers. I wrote about it here: A87790567 'Labyrinth' - The Film
