David Bowie, RIP

That just made me howl with irreverent laughter. Did Eno use his Oblique Strategies, do you think?

[quote]* Use an old idea.

  • State the problem in words as clearly as possible.
  • Only one element of each kind.
  • What would your closest friend do?
  • What to increase? What to reduce?
  • Are there sections? Consider transitions.
  • Try faking it!
  • Honour thy error as a hidden intention.
  • Ask your body.
  • Work at a different speed.[/quote]
    (One or two have worked for me, though, I must admit.)

Now, an evening of listening to Bowie. I may raise the odd glass.
