This is terrible, but I had no idea that David Bowie died, let alone that long ago. Normally I would not know any more about him than about any pop musician, but he starred in the excellent movie The Man Who Fell to Earth (which is better in the cut version I saw in my twenties than the uncut one I saw on VHS years later.)

I'm confused-you say long ago but it was just yesterday or am I confused. Regards, Len

The way Mel worded it, with a comma instead of a period, it sounded as though Glass wrote his piece in honor of Bowie's passing in 1986. I know my mistake.

No, you're not confused: David Bowie just passed yesterday. The symphony was written in 1986 and had nothing to do with Bowie's death.

I doubly apologize for being so dense.
