True, and I've seen Rush a couple of times in the past. One of the best shows I ever saw was Rush with Steve Morse back in the late mid/late 80s... what a virtuosity-fest!
(PS- can't believe I typed 'Neal' :-/ )

Came across this today. Thought it was super cool:
Just heard on the radio that he had a "connection" to Texas. He was born David Jones and as his music career expanded he did not want to be confused with Davy Jones of the Monkees. He took the name Bowie from Jim Bowie, though, pronounced it differently.

Farewell Starman RIP.
I remember the first time seeing & hearing Bowie. It was on the Don Kirshner's Midnight Special TV program in late 1973, simulcast in stereo on a local FM station. They announced this band Ziggy Stardust and The Spiders From Mars and out came Bowie. Holy smokes my buddies and I thought, WTH is this ? He was great, and made a lot of new fans that night. We had never seen anything like that before and his band was red hot.
I think it was that same year that he was on a Bing Crosby Christmas special. That special was the first time I ever remember seeing Bowie. He didn't appear in glam make up or in character and just sang with Crosby in a sport coat as I remember...probably a let down for someone expecting something out of "Space Oddity" and getting something closer to "The Thin White Duke" singing Christmas songs. Which, of course, made it more interesting. RIP.
