We'll wrap up our memorial week here. It's been fun to go through all these tracks, though it's been somewhat sad affair at the same time. Many thanks to Mr. Bowie for all that he gave to this world. I will once again state the oft-repeated tribute: the stars look very different today.
Thanks for coming along with us, and stay tuned for freealonzo week (for real this time).

Aww, screw it, let's play a few more cuts, eh?
4 Dec 1974
Sorry, the mix is really bad for this the song. No, your speakers aren't screwy, that saxophone is clipping way the funk out. Sampling several videos for this performance leads me to believe this is the fault of that sneaky Dick Cavett...
While freealonzo gets situated, we obviously must take the time to recognize an amazing soul that graced us with his time on this planet. We are all so much richer for it. The list of contributions are far too long to try to tick off, and I'm sure many words far more meaningful than mine will be spoken in the coming weeks, but I can imagine how cathartic it was for all those kids growing during his rise to have someone to turn to and think, hey, I don't have to fit into a box. This isn't weird. This is cool.
