That might have prompted a different kind of RIP thread...

nowhere near as long as you would have taken
i would have thought that if you really wanted to encourage a respectful if not hagiographic rip thread you wouldn't descend to the levels you have
Anyone seen the interview with Jimmy Page, when he was a fresh faced middle class grammar school boy, hard to believe he would end up in Crowleys old house and doing the things he is alledged to have done,
Same with Plant, the Doc on him on BBC4 showed him to be a very interesting empathetic man, just not with women it seems.

Sad males you mean.

Imagine the range of emotions you'd have gone through hearing that

I'm normally fairly hardboiled about these things, but I did the shock/disbelief/sadness thing when I read of Bowie's death this morning.
As it happens, it was a story link on the bottom of a Sun page online (yes, I know...) about doctors living the high life, and I initially assumed it was just some bit of Sun bollocks, so when I checked an authoritative source (Urban, as it goes), it was a real shock.
RIP. Regardless of the controversies.

just spoke to me mam about it and she likes him and everyone knows a bowie song. endlessly inventive even if some of his stuff wasn't great (tin machine). unofficial day of mourning in UK.

For some definition of ok, yeah. Well no not really. But yeah. Thank you. Love to Noush, too xx

am genuinely surprised at how much love and respect he has and how much a part of everyone's life he was.

The music press could be quite cruel to him for a good part of a decade - mid 80s until 90s. Especially with Tin Machine.

Glad I didn't hear that. The extremes of emotion would have finished me off.

Agreed - sorry for the technical language, but using a 2nd conditional clause like that always implies that the thing you're talking about doesn't exist. That's the very purpose of that kind clause.
Your spelling actually isn't that bad anyway, btw. But for those who find spelling extremely difficult I actually would recommend using a spellchecker a lot, partly because it makes the posts easier for other dyslexics (etc) to read. (Obviously spellechecker doesn't pick up everything, but it is helpful).

He was one of those artists who when you hear a really well known song you go 'oh, was this song by David Bowie?' like I did just now whilst hearing Changes. Probably obvious for loads of people on here but I was never a great follower of his music.

When I'm on my phone I tend to rely on the predictive text to get it right. If it gets it wrong I usually can't spot it unless it is really obvious.

And Thomas Dolby in his backing band for Live Aid. Made my day, that.

He kept the fact he was ill private didn't he? I don't recall hearing anything.

There's been rumours for a few years but he never went public about it afaik.

interesting that BBC news is covering bowie RIP and then later the whole nonsense about anglican homophobia, something which bowie was way ahead of with hunky dory cover in a dress, bisexuality, etc. it wasn't just music but attitudes he influenced.

He was one of the few open bisexuals around when I was growing up. It wasn't just the music that inspired me.

Quite grateful for it really. As I said, was never really a follower of Bowie, dunno why just never gave him much of a listen but of course knew a lot of his songs because he's one of those artists that permeated culture and did so for so long. Hearing the selection of songs they're playing makes me understand, now more than ever, why he was so well liked and respected. An obscenely creative and talented person.

i would never call myself a bowie fan as i dont have any of his stuff, but i know loads of his songs and am singing along with kooks now. i had also started listening to his berlin stuff and space odd, as well as revisiting hunky dory, a lot of late.
