To be able to go from Ziggy Stardust to singing the Little Drummer Boy with Bing Crosby he could do it all! He will be missed!

As an aside, while listening to this song I thought about the idiots in Oregon. They took over the federal sanctuary so that in their warped minds they could be heros, just for 15 minutes.

The "Let's Dance" tour at Anaheim -- okay

Tin Machine at the Hollywood Palladium -- Great!

And as David Bowie again around 1991 -- the best show of the 3. He loved performing and really put across a great show. Restlessly creative, his fame is well deserved.

"Heroes
By David Bowie

I, I will be king
And you, you will be Queen
Though nothing, will drive them away
We can beat them, just for one day
We can be heroes just for one day

And you, you can be mean
And I, I'll drink all the time
'Cause we're lovers, and that is a fact
Yes we're lovers, and that is that

Though nothing, will keep us together
We could steal time,
Just for one day
We can be Heroes, for ever and ever
What d'you say?

I, I wish you could swim
Like the dolphins, like dolphins can swim
Though nothing,
Nothing will keep us together
We can beat them, for ever and ever
Oh we can be Heroes,
Just for one day

I, I will be King
And you, you will be Queen
Though nothing will drive them away
We can be Heroes, just for one day
We can be us, just for one day

I, I can remember (I remember)
Standing, by the wall (by the wall)
And the guns shot above our heads (over our heads)
And we kissed,
As though nothing could fall (nothing could fall)
And the shame was on the other side
Oh we can beat them, for ever and ever
Then we could be Heroes, just for one day

We can be Heroes
We can be Heroes
We can be Heroes
Just for one day
We can be Heroes

We are nothing, and nothing will help us
Maybe we're lying,
Then you better not stay
But we could be safer,
Just for one day

Oh-oh-oh-ohh, oh-oh-oh-ohh,
Just for one day
