We are all Stardust Today

I am so sad today. David Bowie has passed away at the not-so-old age of 69 years. We listen to him a lot at Casa de Noodles. His music transcends its time and is as relevant today as it was when he first shared "A Space Oddity" in 1969.

His career, which spanned the years from 1967-2016, was always inventive and unexpected.

So, I am substituting my planned post for today to honor the man who brought so much to the world - R.I.P. David Bowie.

"Space Oddity"

Ground Control to Major Tom

Ground Control to Major Tom

Take your protein pills 

and put your helmet on

Ground Control to Major Tom

Commencing countdown, 

engines on

Check ignition 

and may God's love be with you

[spoken]

Ten, Nine, Eight, Seven, Six, Five, Four, Three, Two, One, Liftoff

This is Ground Control 

to Major Tom

You've really made the grade

And the papers want to know whose shirts you wear

Now it's time to leave the capsule 

if you dare

This is Major Tom to Ground Control

I'm stepping through the door

And I'm floating 

in a most peculiar way

And the stars look very different today

For here

Am I sitting in a tin can

Far above the world

Planet Earth is blue

And there's nothing I can do

Though I'm past 

one hundred thousand miles

I'm feeling very still

And I think my spaceship knows which way to go

Tell my wife I love her very much 

she knows

Ground Control to Major Tom

Your circuit's dead,

there's something wrong

Can you hear me, Major Tom?

Can you hear me, Major Tom?

Can you hear me, Major Tom?

Can you....

Here am I floating 

round my tin can

Far above the Moon

Planet Earth is blue

And there's nothing I can do.
