How can this be real?

There are some people you just don't expect to die, ever. Especially when they're so good at recreating themselves.  Regenerate, as it were, because if there ever was a real life Time Lord, it surely was David Bowie.  And this should read "is David Bowie", and it doesn't, and despite never having been a devoted fan - I like some of the songs I grew up with in the 70s and 80s, and some of the movies he made as an actor - (like a lot of people who were teenagers in the 80s I imprinted on David Bowie as Jareth the Goblin King; just a few years ago, I was stunned to later, post-watching, realise he was Nikola Tesla in The Prestige because I hadn't recognised him, and yet the role had been perfect for him and his otherworldly, larger than life quality) - I'm still trying to process the reality of this.

He really was like no one else in the world.

JM: Characters who anchor shows with large ensemble casts (not necessarily the leads): discuss

A true challenge to ponder.
