Many others have put up glowing tributes to Bowie (and have re-upped many fine concerts and recordings), and can do a much better job of it than me, so I won't attempt it here, but he will be missed in the world of rock. Personally, I was not always a fan of the musical directions he chose (mainly a fan of his '70's output), but I always had the utmost respect for him as an artist. Bowie was a true original, a pioneering and innovative artist, constantly re-inventing himself and challenging both himself and audiences with new directions, styles, and sounds over the years. But the most sudden, shocking, and devastating of all was the totally unexpected and near back-to back deaths of legendary rock icons David Bowie and Glenn Frey. It's been a mournful first month of 2016 for rock music fans, with the deaths of several notable veteran rock artists, including Lemmy ( Motorhead), Dale Griffin ( Mott The Hoople), and most recently, Paul Kantner ( Jefferson Airplane/ Starship) and Maurice White ( Earth, Wind, & Fire).
