I would consider myself to be somewhat of a Bowie fan,although not nearly as large as some.
I prefer his 70's stuff a little more to his 80's comeback songs,which received tons of radio play when I was in high school.
Bowie was a master of re-invented himself through various personas and characters,most notably the Ziggy Stardust character,which is what is still most often recalled in shows and commercials that involve Bowie.
Bowie also appeared in several films,plays and television shows with one that I remember best was a cameo with of all people,Bing Crosby to sing "the little drummer boy".....
Another star of my youth passed away as Wayne Rogers,best known for his role as Trapper John on MASH,passed at the age of 82.
Rogers as Trapper was always my favorite character of the MASH bunch,but he left the show after three seasons as it seemed Alan Alda's Hawkeye was transitioned into the main star,where the movie (and book) had Hawkeye and Trapper as equals.
I always looked at the long run of MASH as three different shows-slapstick rebellion with Hawkeye and Trapper messing with Frank Burns,a funny transition period with Mike Farrell as B.J.Trapper's replacement and then more of a "Dramedy" after Larry Linville's Frank Burns left the show.
Rogers would later star in "House Calls" for a few years and played Major Anthony Nelson (replacing Larry Hagman,who wasn't interested) in a I dream of Jeannie reunion movie.
Rogers would leave acting in the 1990's for the most part to pursue a career in financial management and had been seen often in recent years on Saturday morning's on "Cashing In" a show about finances on the Fox News Channel.
Peter King does a great job in his Monday Morning Quarterback column in addressing the issues and answers on the possible move to Los Angeles from the views of the cities and fans in San Diego,St.Louis and Oakland.
I feel for all of those cities and fans....
The AKC has added two new breeds to its registry in the American Hairless Terrier and the Sloughi have been added.
The Hairless is a spinoff of the rat terrier off of one puppy born that way in the 1970's,while Sloughi is similar to the Saluki-an African hound built for long distance running.
If you like the cole slaw at Chick-fil-a,,you had better hurry up and get some because next Monday (18th) will be the last chance to buy yourself some.
The chain is discontinuing the slaw,but did put the recipe online,so you can get close to it at home.
If you click the above link,it'll give it to you as well...
