It's my birthday! I was wondering if you could make it a better birthday by playing some David Bowie for me… Pretty please? Thanks for all you do for music and community. Xoxo, Bex in Cleveland\nPS. John Richards is ON POINT today!!!\n--\nMany listeners assumed that \"Space Oddity\" was riffing on the Apollo 11 Moon landing of 1969, but it was actually inspired by a Stanley Kubrick film released a year earlier. Bowie watched 2001: A Space Odyssey multiple times when it premiered in theaters in 1968. “It was the sense of isolation I related to,” Bowie said in 2012. “I found the whole thing amazing. I was out of my gourd, very stoned when I went to see it—several times—and it was really a revelation to me. It got the song flowing.”", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "trackplay" }
