We've got more than enough on our plate at present, so hardly surprising that the demise of David Jones of Brixton and Bromley hasn't been commented on........
If he had an interest in football - and no one has suggested he had - it's more likely that he was a Palace man, nor did he play the Who Valley gig in 1974 or anything similar.
However, one Bowie memory that comes to mind for me is the home game against Oldham in October 1975 (we won 3-1) when Space Oddity was played as one of the half time requests, the music drifting around the huge old ground (there were all of about 8,000 of us there) at enormous volume and sounding all a bit surreal.
The other memory of that game is that Alan Groves had an outstanding match on the wing for Oldham. He died in a car crash a couple of years later at only 28.
One year on and the shock of hearing the news comes flooding back. I think I'd like to spend the day listing to his music with joy this year rather than sadness. RIP David Bowie.
I just watched the David Bowie documentary Finding Fame, about his early years. It's available on iplayer until early March, worth a watch for Bowie fans.

I saw it over the weekend - excellent documentary.
I was listening to "The Man Who Sold the World" in the car this morning with a smile and a tear, rather than just the tears of last year.
RIP David
Oddly i was listening to this in the car today,forgot how good it is. I also like the kurt cobain cover but its annoying how many people think its a Nirvana song. RIP both

Seeing Holy Holy at London Palladium next week, band which includes Woody Woodmansey (Spiders drummer) and Tony Visconti along with Glenn Gregory (Heaven 17) on vocals. They are performing Man Who Sold the World and Ziggy Stardust albums in their entirety, saw them last year as well and they put on a fantastic show. Well worth seeing for any Bowie fans.

Funny the things you remember.
David Bowie: The Last Five Years airs on Saturday 7 January at 9pm on BBC2.
Died one year ago today.
Probably the most incredible unique musical artist the world has known.
RIP David Bowie.
