[Heeplist] BBC E-mail: Bowie bassist Bolder dies aged 62

[Martin Turk]

I was in the kitchen doin the washing-up and the BBC midday news announced David's death. I don't remember the date, but my girlfriend at the time was pretty pissed off with me for deserting my duty and going into the garden for a serious smoko then disappearing to the pub for the rest of the day.
I'm sure you understand.
Peace n love, Martin.

Even we, behind the so-called Iron Curtain, saw it in some paper or a magazine (and those who didn't, like me, for instance, learnt it from that very film on VHS). Now it is a different world altogether, but still I am amazed.
