We could be Hero's for ever and ever

There are a lot of memories being shared today across all media’s.
I could add two more. Listening to Space Oddity in a broken down ice cream van on the beach in Burnham on Sea at the end of the sixties. Selling ice cream was a sixth form holiday job. The van had no engine and had to be towed into place every day and picked up again in the evening. Space Oddity was THE song of the summer and I blasted it out, and sang along, every time it came up on Radio One.  I was singing it the day the tow truck was late and the tide was washing up towards the front tyres having already passed the back ones, I did not abandon ship/van.  Kids loved the song but I don’t think it increased sales; quote from an oldie (although probably far younger than I am now) “ I prefer the classic ice cream chimes rather than that noise” 
The other memory is the only time I saw him live, Glastonbury 2000. It was the first festival I had been to for a quarter of a century and the first time with a daughter. He was top of the bill Sunday, by which time we were both very tired and grubby but he had an aura, the Star Man, that kept us there. Watched all of his set than left for home but he had planted the seed  that grew into the festival  mindset that still gets me excited every October when we try and get tickets for next year.

He influenced so many areas of life that you can truly say he changed the world and the world is now poorer without him.
