The last few days have seen an outpouring of personal remembrances of musician David Bowie, who died of cancer Sunday. Bowie leaves a legacy of music and artistry and for many in the LGBTQ community, he’s seen as an inspiration for his early and unmitigated embrace of androgyny. Forum talks about David Bowie and his influence both on the music industry and on us as individuals. We would like to hear from you — when did you first discover David Bowie?

Guests:

Sylvie Simmons, rock writer for Mojo Magazine, biographer and musician

Gabe Meline, Music editor and curator, KQED Arts

Lysol Tony-Romeo, reverand father, First Church of the Scared Silversexual, a David Bowie worship band

Kevin Jones, interactive producer, KQED Arts
