RIP David Bowie

[brogdale]

Turned down a CBE and a knighthood; have we covered that yet?

 

[discokermit]

Whether or not I'm a flares wearing thicko; that has no bearing on feeling emotional or expressing emotions. I'd rather be confident in expressing emotions than keeping them stunted.

good for you, ger. get in the queu and sign the book.

 

[Sasaferrato]

That is bloody clever.

 

[Mation]

Terrible news. DB was truly one of the greats. I went past 40 Stansfield Road this morning at 8.30 to pay my respects.

I'll pop by later, probably.

It's krtek; why bring my old username into the discussion? And what book?

I'm upset that someone who influenced me, in terms of music and being open, has died. You seem to have a problem with people expressing their emotion. Or is just men who cry irk you?

i just find the idea of planning beforehand to get together with your mates to do it a bit odd.

This morning (few hours ago- there;'s loads more flowers now) down by the mural outside Morleys.
Lots and lots of press but mourners too, and a sweet sad thing to see how he was loved by such a wide variety of people.

 

[malatesta32]

this is still some his edgiest and weird stuff. but also still got 'pop songs' on it. possibly me fave!

Likewise, the favourite here at brogdale acres!
When our lad got his first deck (aged about 15) we 'lent' him his mother's "Low" LP...like you do to try to help them with their broader education...and...he liked it, but left the vinyl lying on his desk in direct sunlight. Mrs B was so devastated to see the record warped that son & heir (secretly) got online to purchase a replacement. Tears were shed...as they have been listening to it today.

 

[pocketscience]

I always regarded him more a Bromley/Beckenham boy that a Brixton one tbh

Piss off this thread.

I'm only eating fish heads and tails today.

 

[editor]

He certainly knew what he was talking about:

2002: David Bowie gives the New York Times a prediction about the industry in 2012:

"Music itself is going to become like running water or electricity. So it’s like, just take advantage of these last few years because none of this is ever going to happen again.

"You’d better be prepared for doing a lot of touring because that’s really the only unique situation that’s going to be left. It’s terribly exciting. But on the other hand it doesn’t matter if you think it’s exciting or not; it’s what’s going to happen."

David Bowie played the fame game with dignity and class to the very end

Piss off this thread.

i did for eighteen minutes, til you pulled me back, you fucking dick.

Which will give you time to add the terminal 'e' to 'queue'.

[RareBird]

Made the Mirror now - Fans organise 'Brixton Bowie party' and pay moving tributes at memorial

 

[Maharani]

Sorry if this is a repeat but apparently there's a get together at the Albert from 8pm tonight. Might pop down to pay my respects.

 

[Sprocket.]

Must admit I had to smile a moment back when one of the Barnsley puddings asked me if it was true that (Ian) Dowie had died?

This is true!

 

[scifisam]

Actually, decided I'm not going to gratify the arseholes by arguing with them. What would be the best I could get out of that - win an argument with a moron? Whoop-de-do!

You've never been to a funeral or a wake then?

Stop being a mardy arse

it was an off the cuff comment. i've only gone to funerals and wakes of people i've met.

Wisdom, that is.

Soooooo many of us need to heed this advice on here.

let's not forget bowie in film. Man who fell to earth was perfect casting. Christianne F has him live and the junkies legging thru the shops to the sound of Heroes. And the weird ageing thing in The Hunger. and if you really want to, you can see his willy in the Man Who ...

Don't forget Labyrinth!

His juggler hand double had to contort into several uncomfortably close positions in Labyrinth so Bowie shoved potpourri into his pants.
