He got his name back eventually.

Couldn't tell you a single song of his, I'm very sure I never heard one all the way through, probably just the odd bit or so.  Just wasn't my cuppa tea.

That being said I did have a small soft part in my heart for him losing his son.

Never liked his stuff much, but RIP.


I didn't, but have learned to respect it a lot more.


Always wrote it off as nothing but poppy crap, but there's more there.

I've always liked creepy.  :autism:
He was definitely different, that's probably why he did as well as he did.

Talent + a reason for people to want to pay attention to you = $$

Seriously, I did like a few of his songs..."Darling Niki" was one.

He seemed like a very private person...in a world full of Kardashians :zombiefuck:...I highly respect that.

I head a saying that fits. "In order to be #1, you have to be odd".

Most creative people are oddballs and many of them are diagnosably mentaly ill.

At least he wasn't as bad as Whacko Jacko.

He stems from an era where quality whether you liked it or not, was something to start a career with. Nowadays it seems you have to start with fame, after that you can try to come up with something "creative".

Even writers have to look pretty, handsome or at least very interesting nowadays. Without a face that can be marketed a publisher will think twice or more before publishing a book.

Madness.

I only followed him through his first four albums, which I still own on vinyl.

I WAS A FAN!!

Not my normal fare, as most have already said, but I enjoyed his take on history and politics and the whole damn fucked up love thing.

He was even more prolific as an artist than I had known after researching his repertoire over the past couple of days.

Pop-ish, fine. Predictable, seldom. Inspired from "another plane,"  always. And he had really awesome custom guitars made just for himself!
I received a bootleg copy of his latest just before it came out, I am a bit ashamed to say, but I think it is good enough to buy.

Honestly, though, losing him AND David Bowie in less than a year is just really sad.

Adddendum:

Honestly as this whole "Death Of Yet Another Icon" has hit me hard over the past couple of days, I have learned some things about his career that I did not know before.
His writings being covered by so many varied artists was always out there if you read  the accompanying materials that come with your CDs.
He was one of the forerunners of intellectual rights for artists, along with absolute assholes like Metallica.  I agree with both of them to a degree.
I tend toward art in my own life and to have it stolen from me would be horrible!

I know this will come as a total shock to some of you assholes, but art is NOT FREE!!!  The artist deserves a bit of a living (or danm fine one if your shit appeals to a mass of the public) after creating something we all want. As much as I would love to see everything for free all the time (I am not a communist, but, Hey! I already live in Heaven for the most part.) The artist who moves us deserves to make a decent living.
