    I dare someone to listen to this after a few glasses of wine.

    why would anyone need a few glasses of wine? this is an outstanding piece of work - aurally, visually, the whole package. it's inspiring to see this guy challenging his audience so far into his career. if you need wine to get up the courage to confront this, then don't stop! drink yourself to death!

    Oh no no no....I just mean for the added effect. Listening to this while drunk? I wouldn't recommend it, but just imagine.

    oh. well if you're going to alter yourself, you might as well just go straight to the hallucinogens, yes? that is what i would recommend.

    Watching that video with the music turned up in 5.1 surround while hallucinating would be like crossing over to the other side.

    The stupid morning DJs on the classic rock station I flick to on my morning drive were mocking the song. I got very angry and turned back to the student station.

    And that's my cool story.

    It was announced by major news outlets...

    Didn't know he had cancer. Well that sucks tremendously.

    No, they got it from his son Duncan Jones and from Bowie's people who put out a press release. I don't know what the hell news sources you read, but this is who BBC cited.

    Very sad and surprising.

    Dude. This is Bowie. He's not supposed to die. Certainly not at 69.

    Definitely makes the title "Lazarus" seem more prescient now.

    Wow, I'm in shock. Whilst I'd never call myself a huge fan of his, he definitely had some classic songs that I listen to now and then. Huge loss :(
