He was actually one of the first non-musical theatre artists I got really obsessed with, first with Hunky Dory and then branching out into his Berlin albums, Ziggy Stardust, and Heathen. I don't even know what it is, but the versatility of his music and the wealth of interesting sounds he would make, both in his own voice and in the arrangements of his songs, really appealed to me. From Bowie I branched out into a lot of other pop music, and found more obscure gems like Klaus Nomi and Kate Bush, and it just...I don't know. His music became such a latent part of my life for a very long time, and even though that won't be going away, it feels odd not to have him anymore.<br /><br />Rickman, too, of course...just what a loss. Both of them, such everpresent parts of everyday life--"oh, let's check out the new Bowie album! Oh, Alan Rickman's in a new movie", and it's just disquieting to have that removed all of a sudden.T.
