Today would have been the 70th birthday of David Bowie.
Most people do not need a lengthy introduction to the artist, actor and musician, famous for 5 decades of inspirational music that has influenced so many people in so many ways.
His career was marked by reinvention and visual presentation, his music and stagecraft significantly influencing popular music, right up to his last album, “Black Star” and the stageplay “Lazarus.”
Bowie was famous for his visual characters, notably Ziggy Stardust, and his ever changing persona throughout his career.
Even though, I have been a huge fan of Bowie since I was a kid, I don’t want this to be tinged with sadness, so let’s celebrate his life on what would have been hios 70th year.

Book signing is popular because an author’s signature increases the value of books for collectors.
The author may add a short message to the reader, called a dedication, to each book, which may be personalized with the recipient’s name upon request.
A simple author’s signature without a dedication is typically more valuable to collectors (exceptions include inscriptions to persons of note, e.g., from Hemingway to Fitzgerald, or to persons of significance in the author’s life).
Sometimes an author will sign additional copies for future sale.
An additional advantage to authors for doing this is that once a book has been signed, it cannot be returned to the publisher for a refund.
Many authors today spend a great deal of time signing their books, and sign many thousands of copies.
For example, James Ellroy is known for signing every copy of the 65,000 strong first run of My Dark Places

There’s something spooky about the number 27.
Over the years, a large number of musicians have died at the young age of 27.
This is how the idea of the so-called 27 Club was born, a concept as glamorous as it is tragic.
These celebrities were taken too soon, often as a result of drug use and troubled lives, almost as if they were killed by the pressures of fame itself.
Now, they will remain forever young, forever 27.
