A man on Facebook is being incredibly smug about the fact he doesn’t care about something.
Simon Williams, 38, took to his Facebook page to declare everyone “sheep” for being sad that a great musician died.
“It’s stupid, your feelings are stupid,” beamed Williams, before leaning back in his chair and folding his arms like he’d just discovered time travel, the twat.
“It’s really very silly that you’re mourning the loss of a musician who wrote great songs that obviously spoke to your heart, or that gave voice to a feeling you couldn’t previously put into words, or might have been the backing track to some significant moments in your life.
“None of those concepts are relevant to me here, and I wasn’t a fan of Bowie, so it’s entirely right that I belittle you for your silly little emotions.
“Mocking feelings that I don’t have or understand is obviously a brilliant thing to do, so I think its right that I get some kind of award here and perhaps a gift voucher. So, chop-chop.”
Simon Williams’ friends were unavailable for comment, mainly because he has alienated every single one of them over the course of his lifetime.

have you ever explored your dark side?
That's how Bowie as in knife is supposed to be pronounced so I guess he got it from that.
I'm still undecided between Bow (as in Bow wow wow) Bowie and Bow (as in bow tie) Bowie - both seem to suit different eras.

The decider seems to be that he claimed it was pronounced Bow (as in the scourge of Agincourt) - ee , rather than Boo-ee - as in the militaristic, Mexican hating slave owning murderer ( think Trump but with real balls and prob real hair) who died at the Alamo

It would be wrong of me to be hyper critical of David Jones's music given my tastes are vastly different. However now that 24 hours have passed it can't go in passing without mention of the cringing hyperbole and nonsense that spread across the internet yesterday. My favourite cringe moment came on Radio 4's The World Tonight. It was so fucking awful that I had to hide under the duvet and go La-La-La-La for at least thirty minutes. In fact I am still recovering!
In a review of his work the film director Julian Temple referred to him as "The Patron Saint Of The Outsider" for being an 'emotional liberator'. He went on to compare him with the other two well known liberators of people: Nelson Mandela and Simon Bolivar. Yes, honestly he did.
You can listen the middle-class spouting their pure unadulterated bollox here:
Aid reaches besieged Syrian towns, The World Tonight - BBC Radio 4
When the waters are calmer it would be good to look at David Jones's capitalist enterprises such as his involvement with the stock market.
Thus: Maybe we should see have a binary retrospective on him. First the creative musician and secondly the man who created an image to serve his non musical needs.

I for one will be shocked to the core to discover that a hyper-millionaire had money invested all over the place.

get or use a watch or clock: and many mobile phones now have clocks on them so you can do something else till what you want to hear is on.

no argument here, simply trying to help. you could of course have listened on iplayer and skipped over the dross.
I had to turn off the radio and TV, too much maudlin tripe.
What Bowie meant to whoever doesn't matter to me it's what he meant to me and those memories in the soundtrack of my life at a very trying time.
Yes, it is good that he is remembered, but yesterday at times it was bordering on media induced hysteria.
Like a pudding though after hearing the previews for Black Star in the past weeks I thought, if he did tour would I go to see him before he passes beyond that final curtain?

just bring some kettle crisps or something

Books, not bombs
Just heard on the tranny that he had had 6 heart attacks in the last few years! David Bowie 'died from liver cancer' and 'suffered six heart attacks'
BTW Alive or dead, I can't remember anyone saying a bad word about him.

To be fair - the media always does this. The answer is to avoid the media - as I tried to do and was mostly successful.It would be wrong of me to be hyper critical of David Jones's music given my tastes are vastly different.

Fans have always been Bowie's fiercest critics but I saw precious few real fans being quoted yesterday.
