We normally feature a music video by a New Jersey artist in this space, but with the passing of David Bowie we decided to honor him instead. We found a poem by Michale H. Hanson to serve as a fitting tribute as well.
Bye Bye Bowie
by Michael H. Hanson
You took off thanks to ground control,
achieved fame with your plastic soul,
a herald for spiders from mars
and androgynous rock and roll.
A rebel and a diamond dog,
a cracked actor and cocaine snob,
reborn a young american
you settled in the Berlin fog.
A drummer boy with bright red shoes,
juggling goblin who hates to lose,
your avatar an elephant,
under pressure you danced the blues.
You fell to Earth with dignity
your life a song, vibrant and strong
a legend for eternity.
