I'm going to be unpopular here, but I don't care to be honest.

I was never a fan while he was alive and am not one (sycophantic or otherwise) now he's dead. Never really took to his music or imagery, was more into Paul Weller and the like as I grew up, then massivley into indie and dance music in the late eighties and 90's.

For me whilst he may have been ground breaking etc etc I thought he sounded like a badger straining a s***.

However clearly a massive musical influence for some, just not for me.


That's because Bowie was for the kids who got bullied, not the ones who did the bullying.

Ohhh change the record you massive screamer.

And while i'm at, if Bowie was so feckin massive and popular how come a thread of "your favorite Bowie" dross, has over 130 pages less, than a tramp leader of the labour party who no one gives a s*** about.

I also stand by my point. Any guy that dies that age of cancer is a travesty and I feel for his family and friends that have lost a loved one. However 10 innocent people were blown to bits in turkey this week and I feel more sorrow for those familes.

Just because he died doesnt mean I will now automatically fall in love with his music, I didnt like it then, I dont now.

It's like reading six pages of a universally well received critically acclaimed book that's stood the test of time and that someone has lent you and deciding it's sh1t and you don't bother to read the rest yet you still have a loud opinion on it.

In 1976 Bowie said: “Britain is ready for a fascist leader ... I think Britain could benefit from a fascist leader. After all, fascism is really nationalism ... I believe very strongly in fascism, people have always responded with greater efficiency under a regimental leadership”

Also in 1976, another singer of popular music, who will also monopolise the news broadcasts of the right-on BBC, if he dies, Eric Clapton, said: "The black w*** and c**** and Arabs and f***ing Jamaicans don’t belong here, we don’t want them here. This is England, this is a white country, we don’t want any black w*** and c**** living here. We need to make clear to them they are not welcome. England is for white people, man. We are a white country. I don’t want f***ing w*** living next to me with their standards. This is Great Britain, a white country, what is happening to us, for f***’s sake? We need to vote for Enoch Powell, he’s a great man, speaking truth.

If someone who is not a hero of modern 'culture' said these things imagine the reaction from the very same people who are churning out the tributes.

....all very good and anti Rock Against Racism, but, what's your favourite Bowie track?

 


Most certainly not European.

He retracted those remarks pretty quickly if I remember rightly. Drugs make people do and say pretty stupid things sometimes.

In fact he called out MTV live on air once for not playing enough black artists.

Plus pretty much everything he said was some sort of tongue in cheek joke or had a double meaning.
