David Bowie. 1.10.2016.

I saw David Bowie in 1995 when Nine Inch Nails opened for him during the Outside tour. When he came out to sing Reptile when Nine Inch Nails played, I got chills. I have seen great shows before, but I have not seen a performance like that before. Today was my first time hearing Blackstar and it was haunting and surreal. He is a gift.
