In the past 24 hours, there have been untold eulogies of David Bowie. There have been articles written about what he meant to the countless worlds he affected; music, film, art, the LGBT community, Science Fiction, and just general weirdness. A metric ton of digital ink has been spilled, and while it seems overwhelming, it makes sense. This was a man who transcended boundaries, essentially for a living. Since the late 60s, it seems he never met a line he wasn't willing to cross. He meant a lot of things to a lot of people, and of course he meant something to me as well. I wouldn't be here otherwise. But I'm not a Bowie scholar, or even a particularly devoted acolyte. But on the eve of his death, I think it's appropriate, if nothing else, to appreciate the sheer breadth of an impact the man has had on the world today.
