Stupidest thing I've read today- it's a just an advertising gimmick because he has a new album out :pinch:

Just listened to his new single for the first time. Timing.....wow

What the fuck are you talking about?

First line:
QuoteLook up here, I'm in heaven

I think he inquired about the idiocy you mentioned regarding advertising gimmicks, not the now obvious self-awareness of Bowie's imminent death.

Warren Zevon did the self-aware/imminent death thing best:
QuoteWell, I went to the doctor
I said, "I'm feeling kind of rough"
"Let me break it to you, son
Your shit's fucked up"

I said, "My shit's fucked up?
Well I don't see how"
He said, "The shit that used to work
It won't work now"

I once went to the cinema with David Bowie. Not as a date, sadly. He was at the première of (rather crap) film called Splitting Heirs that I got tickets to through the film distribution company I worked for at the time. He wafted within yards of me and I did my make-up in the ladies' powder room next to Iman, who is 90% neck. There was an after party with strawberry vodka shots.

This.
:unsure:
In that case isn't it obvious what I'm talking about?
Somebody said something ridiculously stupid. I found it mildly amusing that someone would say such a thing.

You say so many ridiculous things that they assumed that you were saying the report of his death was the stupidist thing you'd heard today and that it was an advertisement gimmick, not that the above statement was the stupidist thing you'd heard today.

I understood what you meant, but I can see how it's unclear.
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Languish showing it's quality it again, pissing up someone's RIP/in memory thread with a pointless discussion about the interpretation of what someone said or didn't mean etc.  :rolleyes:

It is clear that Tyr was saying the rumors about this being a hoax to sell albums was ridiculous. Some people just need to lash out at somebody for something.

Yeah, just people being daft.

RIP - David Bowie

Apparently, Donald Trump is the same age as David Bowie. Good going, God.  :rolleyes:

Trump's health is extraordinary.
