The Mark Radcliffe show on 6 this morning has been a fantastic listen for any Bowie fan...lots of reminiscing by many different people and, of course, great music. Strongly recommend listening on catch-up if you have missed it.
I'd not heard Morrissey's cover of 'Drive in Saturday' 'til I heard it on there today - wow, that is something else.

A guy I’m a big fan of has two Bowie covers on fb.
My favourite Life On Mars and an excellent version of Absolute Beginners that highlights the lyrics.
Search on fb and this is the fella you are looking for.

I think Absolute Beginners is a Style Council song by Paul Weller

Great quote from Simon Pegg.
'If you're sad today, just remember the world is over 4 billion years old and you somehow managed to exist at the same time as David Bowie.'
