David Bowie is alive

It's his 66th birthday and his fans are the ones who got the present. He's back.

He released a single after midnight, with the full album to follow in March.

Hope it's okay to post this here.

I have "Reality" from 2003 which I like a lot.

also I like "This is Not America", Pat Metheny/Lyle Mays/David Bowie song from the soundtrack of "The Falcon and The Snowman". Based on a true story.

and that crafty old genius recorded the whole thing in secret and dropped it on us as a total surprise.
Pulling off secrecy like that is quite a feat in the Internet age.
