Indeed. When i was about 10 years i got the album Ziggy Stardust as a birthday present. And in the years that came after i always had an eye on what he was doing. Late seventies or early '80's i dove into the New Wave scene and Bowie was an huge inspiration and i listened to Station to station, Low and Heroes almost constantly. Goodbye thin white Duke, may the wind always blow in your hair, the sunlight shine on your face and the power of love lift you up to dance among the stars. ;-)
