Carole set a task for us this week to share 10 Favorite David Bowie Songs:
Wow, this was hard for me, because, I was not the biggest David Bowie fan. However, in Googling him, I found this wonderful and prophetic quote:
I don’t know where I’m going from here, but I promise it won’t be boring.
I always had a repulsive need to be something more than human. I felt very puny as a human. I thought, “Fuck that. I want to be superhuman.”
I’m an instant star. Just add water and stir.
I’m always amazed that people take what I say seriously. I don’t even take what I am seriously.
The truth is of course is that there is no journey. We are arriving and departing all at the same time.
To not be modest about it, you’ll find that with only a couple of exceptions, most of the musicians that I’ve worked with have done their best work by far with me.
Frankly, I mean, sometimes the interpretations I’ve seen on some of that songs that I’ve written are a lot more interesting that the input that I put in.
I’m not a prophet or a stone aged man, just a moral with potential of a superman. I’m living on.
And so you will, Mr. Bowie – you will live on in your music that you gifted all of us.

After yesterday’s post, this week’s 10 on Tuesday from Carole might be just what Santa ordered – 10 Gifts You Can Pick Up at the Grocery Store.
This could come in very handy in the 10 remaining days before Christmas!
- Wine! Although you cannot get this at a grocery store in PA, you could stop at the Wine and Spirits store and get a nice bottle of wine (as well as something with a bit more kick for yourself, if need be)
- Beer, which you can get at some grocery stores in PA! Luckily there are dozens of holiday beers to enrich every palate.
- Cheese, cured meats, and crackers. Bonus in that most stores have holiday themed cheese trays available this time of year.
- Holiday Coffee’s for the coffee lover on your list! You could even add in a nice mug or two!
- No coffee lover’s on your list? No problem – you can get Holiday Tea’s as well.
- Christmas Cookies! You can even get a holiday container to put them in and none will be the wiser that you did not bake them yourself, and I won’t ever tell.
- Nuts. This would go especially well with gifts one, two, and three!
- Fresh fruit baskets are thankfully at every market this time of year.
- Is there a baker or a want-to-be baker on your list? Take your favorite recipe and get all the ingredients to make it – you might even be able to pick up a festive bag to put them all in as well!
- If none of these ideas work, you can always get a gift card to all sorts of places!
There you go, Gentle Reader, if you’re feeling the pressure of failing – FEAR NOT and just go shopping!
