So far, 2016 hasn’t been the best year. We’ve lost a space oddity and Professor Snape; the man who fell to earth and Hans Gruber. But thanks to the magic of technology, they shall persevere and stay with us. For, if Hollywood has taught us anything, while you can’t really remake the classics (and Bowie and Rickman were classic). They’ll still offer us pale imitations, which is really worse. At least it reminds us of what once was.
I'm pretty bummed about David Bowie.
Ice Ice Baby is one of my favorite songs.

Well, kids, we’ve reached the end of another journey through light and sound, through memory and dreams of better days, through moments when cassettes held our jams and space men and villains simply needed Major Tom and detonators. We could be mad about it or, instead, merely be loud about it. In the age of the Internet, I know what path I’m choosing.
I'm not mad, this is just how I yell.
