His son duncan jones tweeting this is Ground Control to major tom reporter space odyssey a hit in the year of the moon landing that started bowies ascent to stardom.

He wasnt a chameleon because a chameleon changes to blend in. David bowie never blended he was perhaps summed up by his song rebel rebel. I was a huge fan and like all these fans ill miss him. Savannah. I feel the same way, bill. Thank you so much for your lets turn to joe lev, a contributing editor of Rolling Stone and incoming on spotify. Good mornid morning. First of all, was it well known that he had this struggle with cancer because i have to say the news came as such a shock to me and i think so much this was not known at all. This was a private matter and its interesting. The album, it would have been o differently just last friday on his birthday when black star, his latest record, was released. People would have received it so they had known of his illness. Clearly its a record that faces and faces down the question of mortality, but the decision to keep all of this private to come out, to be itself. Art. I mean, it is hard to s contribution to music, to what did david bowie do for this well, quite simply he was one of rocks first selfconscious artists. He looked at everything he did as art, the way he way he lived his life, his sexuality. He pushed boundaries all the time, and uniquely he was an inspiration to people in the he 80s, in the 90s constantly changes. Changes is one of his best known songs. Its a theme song for him,ea of shifting, of constantly being on the move and embracing all sorts of different sounds, rock n roll, dance music, these things. We have david bow toe thank for that. Well, i was going to say one measure of somebodys success and impact is how Young Artists artists have taken what he did and taken it further. Are there people out there in music today or even in the last few decades who you say, oh, david bowie did that yes. But if you look at say lady gagas first record, you look at re she is selfconsciously mimicking david bowies looks, his iconography, the way he dressed because she herself wanted to say start im going to be a shape shifter. Nirvana covered A David Bowie song in a final an mtv live performance. Kanye west tweet that had david bowie was an inspiration to him and, of course works we have artist whose career is about fame, celebrity and without david bow toe blaze a trail for her, probably not. The in the few seconds i have left, when you talk about the new record, the song lazarus birthday. Obviously he knew the state of his health. It seemed like he was giving that to the art world as well. Thats absolutelyis is a unique moment. Older and face mortality, weve seennking about getting older and mortality abstractly, but in this case specifically, someone who knew the end was coming, who had for the last with that knowledge and decided to face it down with his art, with a record that is challenging, thats been warmly received as A David Bowie classic david bowie record. That is a fitting testament to an artist of this nature. He will be missed. Joe levy. Or sharing your perfect think of morning. We thank you. Thank you.

Pretty awesome. Ricky gervais not surprisingly took a shot at sean penn who was not at this. Comes in the wake of the stunning revelation that he secretly met with the mexican chapo was on the run after prison. Now, mexican authorities want to talk to penn about that encounter. Nbcs jacob rascon has more on this story. D morning. Reporter savannah, good morning. El chapo is back inside the prison behind me, security facility where he escaped last july but its what happened in between his escape and recapture with actor sean everyones attention this morning. It is proof, according to actor sean penn, of of a scoop nobody saw coming. Kingpin Joaquin El Chapo guzman, at the time the worlds most famous fugitive, answering questions for a Rolling Stone articlew in decades. The reaction on social media has been swift. Impossible that penn would meet el chapo, eat tacos and drink tequila and talk in. Es say penns meeting might have even helped lead them to el chapos hideout in the bloody shootout that ended with hisnd the drug lord owes apparent infatuation with mexican soap opera saturday kate del e for hollywood plot twest del castillo who played a drug lord in a popular soap are a on Sister Network she is one of tvs hottest stars. Reporter here she is promoting her show on today last year. What do you do . What does your character do . People all the time. Dont interrupt me. Reporter she also played a drug trafficker on the showtime series weeds. O correct that mistake. Reporter her connection to the real kingpin apparently started in 2012 when in an open letter on twitter she chapo, wouldnt it be cool if you started trafficking with love . You would be the hero of heros. Life is a thing that changes is the merchandise. Guzman reportedly tried to send her flowers, though she never while mexican authorities have said they are looking at whether sean penn faces any legal exposure in mexico, theamerican Law Enforcement is getting el chapo to the United States, and they called the Rolling Stone article that elllowed to screen before it was published quote, a sideshow. Willie. Jacob rascon, shank you so much. Shaun henry is executiveector for the fbi and lisa bloom is todays legal analyst. Good morning to you both. Shaun, let me start with you. Saw the photograph of sean penn shaking the hand of el chapo and were outraged and wanted to know how did he get so close to the mant has not been able to find . Thats a great question, willie. You know, when i was in the fbi we were actively looking for for el chapo, and i know the u. S. Government but into locating him. Theres been questions about the Mexican Government and if with them, if they were xlisito, but the resources there and the ability to try and questions here. I know the u. S. Authorities are very, very interested in talking to sean penn. Yeah. And sean penn himself said hedea may be tracking him as he met and pursued with el chapo. Do you suspect that sean penns meeting had any relationship to the fact that authoritiesdid catch up to el chapo . You know, i think thats a high likelihood. U. S. Authorities constantly are looking at tracing digital king at telephones and the like. Penn himself talked about using encryption, using burner phones in which they use them for a day them so that they couldnt be tracked, and then theres been some comments in the media by the mexican attorney general that said in fact that was one. Ways they were tracking him, soher issue for for penn to be concerned about at this point. Willie . Was directed also at sean pait a minute. You met with this guy and didnt tell authorities about it. Has he opened himself up to any legal action here . Well, based on the factnow absolutely not. He was acting as a journalist for a magazine. Journalists are allowed to meet with people, even criminals, and they are not required to report what he cant do is materially help el chapo. If he gave him a dollar. If he helped him strategize, helped him escape or ould be in trouble, but all right. And the u. S. Now saying it wants to extradite el chapo to the. We shall see. Lisa bloom, shawn henry, thank you both. Thanks. And now to the president ial race with the Iowa Caucuses fastg. New polls show both the republican and democratic races there are tightening.

Our brand new nbc showing cruzs advantage just four points, within the margin of error as trump keeps up his attacks on his canadianborn lity to be president. Teds going around saying this matter is settled. Its not a settled matter. Reporter even if trump loses in iowa, he insists hes in it haul. Theres no maybes. Theres no maybes. Im not leaving. Youre going straight to the going all the way. Reporter trumps crushing the competition in at 30 . Instead of uniting behind one establishment candidate rubio, christie, bush and kasich are splitting up 44 of the on the general election, trump has a new warning for the clintons. Keep calling him sexist, and hell keep bringing up the ts past infidelities. Its a threat. Its a threat. I mean, i can call it a nicer name, yeah.
