I showed "Changes" to my super-talented best friend way back in… I don't know, April 2015 I guess. She's an amazing artist and gave that drawing to me for my birthday last year. She wasn't even into music at the time (still isn't really), but within a few months she had become a hardcore Bowie fan. I was texting her the evening before he died, and she said something to the effect that she'd love it if he revived Ziggy Stardust for a performance. I said I doubted he'd ever do it, especially not without Mick Ronson. Then we got talking about Mick and Marc Bolan and a bunch of glam rock RIP stuff. A few hours later, we were both sobbing about Bowie himself. Weird.

I think it's a testament to his music that someone who couldn't even name a Beatles song at the time could become hooked.
Sorry.
eidt: wish I could say more.
