There’s a lot of Pron & other garbage on Tumblr, but every once in awhile there is gem that makes you remember what the net was supposed to be.

My friend told me a story he hadn’t told anyone for years. When he used to tell it years ago people would laugh and say, ‘Who’d believe that? How can that be true? That’s daft.’ So he didn’t tell it again for ages. But for some reason, last night, he knew it would be just the kind of story I would love…

‘I met David Bowie once,’ was the thing that my friend said, that caught my attention.

Now go and read it. It’s worth the time.
