Kurt’s Blog: The Best of Bowie
Posted on by in Kurt's Blog

Sad news from the world of music…the legendary David Bowie passed away on Sunday at the age of 69.

His latest album (his 25th!) “Blackstar” was just released this past week, and I was just listening to it Saturday morning and thinking “Wow…he’s still got it.”

I was hoping that with the new album might come a tour…I still regret not going to see him when he was touring with Nine Inch Nails back in the late-90s.

(NOTE: “Under Pressure” would be at the top of this list…but I’m never sure to qualify it as a David Bowie song…or a Queen song).

The summer box office is booming — but not because of the usual suspects. After three weeks of indie horror dominance at the box office, the slasher spoof "Scary Movie" topped ticket sales with $55 million over the weekend, according to studio estimates Sunday, easily besting the far-from-mighty "Masters of the Universe."
