That's cool. Thanks. I was kind of surprised to read he was turning 60 in one of those mags. Wasn't his 50th a big pay per view event? He's just awesome and I hope he comes out with a killer new album this year....How long has it been...like 4 years?

Happy BD, David!!!

I am going to play my favorite Bowie song Blue Jean in honor of this momentous occasion.

David Bowie is 60yrs old, and he still looks as supercool. David Bowie is a hugh inspiration to many fans around the world.

I think Bowie is awesome, nobody in music is as innovative or ahead of there time as David Bowie was from 1970-80, I'm always amazed how brilliant the production of his albums during that period still sound.

I saw last saw Bowie in 2003, on his most recent Reality Tour, and he was 56yrs old at the time, and performing like a much younger man in his 20's. I met him in early 1996, and he looks even cooler in real life with pure iconic star quality.

I aim to please


Arguably the greatest trailblazer in rock history turns 60 years young today. I can't really emphasize enough how important David Bowie has been in so many different areas of popular music. Year after year after year, great song after great song, classic album after classic album, the man truly has done it all. Never afraid to follow where his curiosity was taking him, sometimes his experiments worked, and sometimes they didn't... but he was very rarely boring in the process. We are fortunate that Bowie is still around and still going strong - not many rock legends are making as music as vital today as at any time in their career. But listen to Bowie's most recent work "Reality", "Heathen", "Hours", even going back to "Outside" and "Earthling" and its clear that Bowie is still at the top of his game.

For me personally, Bowie was a huge influence on my love of music. I first really became aware of David Bowie during the early years of MTV, with videos like "China Girl", "Let's Dance", "DJ" and of course "Ashes to Ashes." My uncle - the one with the huge vinyl record collection - let me borrow "Aladdin Sane" and "Diamond Dogs", and it was all over for me. A life-long love of Bowie began in earnest. Since then I've eagerly bought his entire back catalogue and played it through and through, backwards and forwards. Every time he puts out a new release, I feel like it's a celebration. Some songs are better than others, and sometimes my appreciation for certain albums and songs rises and falls... I'll go through periods where nothing beats "Aladdin Sane", only to recognize the genius of "Low" or even "Outside" and think that THIS has to be his peak. But Bowie has had many peaks, and one of his most important accomplishments is inspiring countless other artists that I love and revere.

So happy birthday Mr. Bowie, and let's hope he keeps making incredible music for a very, very long time! We ALWAYS feature David Bowie heavily on the Bluespace playlist of course, but this week, in celebration of his birthday, we will throw in some extra Bowie nuggets. Some hits, some obscurities, some fan favorites, and some tracks you may not have heard before. Hope you enjoy it!
