"Inseparable"
My wife had a soloist sing that at our wedding, and she knocked it out of the park. Rest in peace Natalie. We'll never forget you at the NoNukes pad. Under a government which imprisons any unjustly, the true place for a just man is also in prison.

One of (if not the most) the most influential men in the world dies at 100.
This man was so angry at the exclusion of Japan among the Bilderberg group, that he co-founded (with Zbig) the Trilateral Commission, which includes Asians in the powerful body. Now the Trilateral Commission is a powerhouse body on par with the Council for Foreign Relations. Many trade deals and organizations were this man's idea. Like the FTAA. Since NAFTA, we have seen the economy and wages improve so much in Mexico, that now more Mexicans leave the U.S. each year than arrive (don't tell Donald Trump and his supporters). In 2014, the United States per capita GDP was $54,000 and in PPP terms Mexico was almost $18,000 per capita. Perhaps more trade and increased economic prospects abroad is the key to reversing migration patterns? Thanks to trailblazers like the indefatigable David Rockefeller, we found out.

Been listening to his albums all morning. I have most of his stuff, but haven't really listened to it in a few years. My new hearing aids are giving me a new appreciation. Some of it sounds pretty dated but a lot of it has held up will over the years.
Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts "God did it" is not an argument. It is an excuse for intellectual laziness.

I met a guy about 30 years ago who said he used to fag for David Jones (Bowie) (ie ran around school doing errands for him at Bromley).
But then, given who he was, I suspect a number of us did. I grew up in the 80's, and wasn't there early enough to really appreciate his talent. Even I can understand his importance though. Rest in peace.Could there be any greater conceit, than for someone to believe that the universe has to be simple enough for them to be able to understand it ?

Some of it sounds pretty dated but a lot of it has held up will over the years. Years ago, an ex told me, during that phase where you are sharing lives up that point, that her gay BFF and she had agreed that no matter who they were involved with, they'd sleep with David Bowie. As Paul Simon said, "She was the kind of a girl who could say things that weren't that funny." Hard to like a guy like that, though I'd always liked his music. Easier now, though: I've been listening all day, too. The man could rock."If you can keep your head while those around you are losing theirs, you can collect a lot of heads."

My new hearing aids are giving me a new appreciation. If you cannot get to all of those albums in one day, then hearing aid a dose of Station to Station and The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust as soon as you can. NoNukes.
