From my perspective, Bowie was one of the most talented musicians in the world. He has sold the world his ideas and today we are using it to inspire many other talented people who would wish to follow in his footsteps. His music has created feelings toward how we are important to the world and how we can make a difference. With his persona changing idea, he can go on stage pretending to be a different being from a whole new perspective. Even though now that he is gone from the world, we know that Bowie was one of the best artists out there to make the world a different place.
