David Bowie changed the course of my life forever.
I never felt like I fit in growing up in Michigan.
Like an oddball or a freak.
I went to see him in concert at Cobo Arena in Detroit.
It was the first concert Id ever been too.
I snuck out of the house with my girlfriend wearing a cape.
We got caught after and I was grounded for the summer.
Madonna thentweetedout a series of superlatives Talented.
The Man Who Sold The World and declared Bowies spirit lives on forever.
She alsoposted an old photographof herself with Bowie with the comment So lucky to have met you!
Hot Tramp I love you so!
Madonnarecounted her experienceas a 15-year-old at a Bowie concert when speaking at the Rock Hall induction ceremony.
I dont think that I breathed for two hours.
But it was worth every minute that I sat and suffered in my house that summer.
