David Bowie, again
So I was reading this paper "The effect of Genre on Referential choice" when I found this example:
- Oh he was brilliant in that no one in the whole world could have played that part except David Bowie.
mmm... maybe there is a sign here. Apparently, there is a mysterious connection between David Bowie and linguists. I think I should start listening to him, you know, since I am trying to be one ;-)

I don't know who you're reading but it might well be broader than linguists.
Definitely in my part of the world, Bowie means an awful lot to everybody of 'a certain age' (meaning my age). It started for me when I was about 10 and listening to 'Starman' under the covers. After that I never looked back (in more than one sense).
