David Bowie, if I’m honest, isn’t a musician that I’ve explored a great deal. I’m a firm believer that your early musical tastes are shaped by your parents. My mum wasn’t a particular fan of anything when I was growing up, preferring to watch tv in the house or have a silent car, if memory […]
While surfing – do people still do that these days? – around the net last night, I couldn’t help but come across the post that many people shared.
