Goodbye Space Oddity

It’s just as heartbreaking hearing of your passing as it was of your only male equal, Freddy Mercury. You’ve given us so much over the past who know how many years. From Space Oddity to Gender bending to leading the chameleons who followed in your wake. You were always the original; never afraid to take risks or chances. It was who you were. It was part of your being, you essence. It was your genius. You, my second childhood idol, were my escape from reality if only for a little while allowing me to float around with Major Tom or be with my little China girl (boy). My parents hated you bc they didn’t understand you. They didn’t understand what you were saying. You were simply immoral. I thought you were absolutely immortal, and now you are.  Your music will live on forever (as I tear up). Good bye old friend. Take your place among the stars that you so honourably deserve. I see you more as a comet floating around space with that adventurous spirit you have, but you’ll always be connected to this little blue dot. Enjoy your rest.

  • Cause love’s such an old-fashioned word
  • And Love dares you to care for
  • People on the edge of the night
  • And Love dares you to change our way of
  • Caring about ourselves
  • This is our last dance
  • This is ourselves
  • Under pressure

May your paths cross my friends and may your wisdom and guidance return to the human race. It is sorely needed. For now, enjoy your respite in the Void.
