      That guy is a legend. I remember watching them one time and he climbed the scaffolding to play his drum from high above the stage. I'm sure it freaked out the organisers given health & safety policies, but boy was it a legendary moment! 🥁

    Massive Bowie fan from down Oz. And with Arcade Fire, massive fit.
    Just so good. The world we live in has gone backward since his passing. Happy sad after this. Greetings from Australia.

    Somethin' filled up
    My heart with nothin',
    Someone told me not to cry.
    Now that I'm older,
    My heart's colder,
    And I can see that it's a lie.
    Children wake up,
    Hold your mistake up,
    Before they turn the summer into dust.
    If the children don't grow up,
    Our bodies get bigger but our hearts get torn up.
    We're just a million little god's causin' rain storms turnin' every good thing to rust.
    I guess we'll just have to adjust.
    With my lightnin' bolts a glowin'
    I can see where I am goin' to be
    When the reaper he reaches and touches my hand.
    With my lightnin' bolts a glowin'
    I can see where I am goin'
    With my lightnin' bolts a glowin'
    I can see where I am go-goin'
    You better look down below.

    Arcade Fire one of the only acts that could measure up to Bowie in terms of creativity and innovation. Bowie saw the greatness in them before anyone else did.
