Yeah, I'm rather surprised by how bereft I feel about Bowie. I mean, whole years when by when I never really thought about him unless something came up in the news. I haven't followed his music for at least a decade. But. . .he's Bowie. A true genius. And so much a part of my youth and adulthood, a constant. I think part of it is how deaths like his (and so many of the people who were fixtures of my world and who were young[ish] when I was young) make me realize just how quickly everything is passing.
