Low

David Bowie meant so much to me that I cannot begin to express it vocally, in a show, or in a blog post. Or 10,000 of them. As such, I have decided I no longer wish to continue the program. Thank you to whomever or whatever has been listening these past years.
As a parting video, here's astronaut Chris Hadfield on recording "Space Oddity" on the International Space Station and Bowie's influence. Enjoy.
