    Not to mention the car industry! Imagine how much the Mini would have "ch ch ch ch changed" if he'd stayed on? We'd have had the new MINI in the 80s, but no Ziggy Stardust or Thin White Duke... So it all worked out for the best in the end.

    Even though I never liked his music his influence can not be denied or forgotten.
    You were a true pioneer and will be sadly missed
    R.I.P. Mr Bowie.

    ^^^ couldn't agree more Pete. I too wasn't a Bowie fan but he clearly had a a massive influence and following in the music industry and like many others that have passed away with his status he no doubt will be a big loss. Gone but not forgotten.

    You only need two tools in life WD40 and Duct Tape. If it doesn't move and should use WD40 and if it moves and shouldn't use Duct Tape.
