Thank you for sharing this. The first incarnation I met was the astronaut-turned-Pierrot of Ashes To Ashes. I was too young to get the drug references, but I imprinted on Major Tom harder than I ever would Ziggy. Later the Berlin electrospectre and hard rocker of Man Who... moved in. They're still all in there somewhere. I've yet to see his Goblin King, but we share a Tesla.

He made music I loved deeply; he was spindly and queer and that made it easier for a spindly queer like me. I miss him very badly, and the world has less colour in it for his passing.
