chemical pancake @panhead18way: I can't write cool tweets, but. David Bowie, we will remember such a legend forever! I'm leaving for a binge.

Ivan Kozlov: Never david Bowie for me he didn’t really mean anything, which is strange, because almost everyone with whom he crossed paths in one way or another did. I’m even attaching a video just like this. I'll miss Reznor so much more.

@fd00ch: I’ll be honest, for me David Bowie was “that dude who covered Kurt Cobain.”

Anna Zaslonko: So it turned out that Bowie he entered my life with his late works, starting with the album Earthling, and was always somewhere near, but never interwoven into my cultural context, like others, did not form it. It is all the more surprising for me to feel now loss and deep sadness along with everyone for whom Bowie meant a whole world.
