Happy Birthday David Bowie!

Today we celebrate what would have been the 70th birthday of the global phenomenon we all miss so dearly, David Bowie. The man with talents that can can get a bit indescribable lost his life last year on January 10th, 2016 just two days after celebrating his 69th birthday and the release of his 25th studio album, Blackstar.

David Bowie has blessed the past, present, and future generations with music that turned our century around. Bowie had a great influence on public acceptance of the arts, feminism, LGBT communities, challenging music, and most importantly BEING YOURSELF!
