Rebel Rebel, it touched on so many things.

Its about youth and being who you want to be, not being told who you should be.

That is something I venture to remind myself every day.

That stage set, the props, and how he pulled off that show was just amazing.

I was maybe 15, so it was my first concert, I think.

My mother took a group of us there.

I was so out of my element and overwhelmed with the theatrical performance.

The band was razor-sharp.

We had listened to that album so much.

And he looked so good on that stage.

Art Terry, 56:His thing was he was the best producer.

When Imin the studio, I often think, What would Bowie do?

if Im stuck because he always made a practical decision, and he made great records.

[Stops singing] I knew that he was the man after that.

College was especially hard for me.

I love that album to death.

Nancy Donato, 57:He spoke to so many people.

Its okay to be different.

He tapped into what was going on in the environment and brought it to a personal level.

I remember explaining Moonage Daydream to an older cousin of mine, and we all daydream.
