Fantastic, other worldly, freaky music video, “Ashes to Ashes”, from the late, great, departed, David Bowie.  If you haven’t explored his music yet, do so now.  What a magnificent, innovative talent! He literally owned the 1970’s and continued in to the early 1980’s.  Bowie explored many personas and musical styles and penned some of the great classics of rock music.  I count this song as one of his strongest.  A bleak, melancholy reexamination of character Major Tom, the lonely, depressed astronaut stuck in his “tin can” in outer space wanting nothing more than to return to Earth, who was originally imagined in the tune, “Space Oddity”.  I think it is safe to say that Bowie’s music and contributions to popular culture were triumphant.  A truly, unique individual.
