Bowie should have eaten a diet rich in nitrilosides.

What's your problem? His post is not a news report, but an opportunity
for the group to discuss the artist, the memories he evokes, what he
meant to some of us, personal anecdotes, or, in your case, quack medical
advice.

Or dancing pony telepathy.

Frankly, I think Pop-Tard's insane jealousy of me is completely dwarfed by
her totally insaner jealousy of someone who left behind a body of work like
Bowie's.

I haven't heard his latest release yet (two days before he died, FFS), and I
wasn't enough of a fan to own everything he recorded (nothing before Changes
II), but I was completely into "Earthling", what live performances of his I
could find, and the songs he wrote for other people.

What an amazing talent. I'm glad he had his family close at the end. 24
years with the same wife in that world is quite an accomplishment in itself.

[BillB]

I did really like a lot of his hits, but I was never really a Bowie guy.
I guess I was a bit of a homophobe back then. I had that one greatest
hits album...I think it was called Changes. Good stuff.

Damn, my newsfeed is just a little slow tonight. Of course he has.

So far in this discussion between you and BillB we have discovered that BillB was a homophobe and "not really a Bowie guy" and you were not enough of a fan to own his earlier recordings. So is that it? Are you guys done now?

I don't recall either of you making a fuss when Jesse Helms died.

No, as a matter of fact, I'm not done. Now I'm going to post a link to
my favorite Bowie video, if that's okay with you?

By the way...I didn't say I was a homophobe. I said I was *a bit* of a
homophobe. Two different things! It's just that seeing a super-skinny
guy with bright red hair dressed in a skin-tight sequined silk leotard
dance around on stage...it just made me a little uncomfortable, that's
all. That's normal for a heterosexual 17-year-old male in 1979, isn't it?

Sorry, I don't really understand why you needed to add anything sexual to the conversation in the first place. You brought it up. Clave has remained on Bowie's music and talent, and I'm sure other fans will join the discussion as the day moves on, and I'm guessing they too will focus on Bowie's music and talent. In fact, when all is said and done and the thread is slowing down, I suspect that YOU will be the ONLY one who even hinted about Bowie's sexuality. BillB, the "tolerant" one. Mister Social Justice.

It's part of the Bowie story, you big dummy. If it makes you
uncomfortable, you might be a bit of a homophobe...in 2016!!

He's probably repressed.

Burka Bea says Billb projects a lot, and his immediate response to that was to call Bea a "lifetime loser" (lofl), yep!

You don't need to tell me that it's part of the Bowie story, but it's no big deal to me. In fact, it's inconsequential. What does mean something to me, though, is the fact that you needed to bring it into the conversation, which I think was tacky, regardless of how well known it was or not, and it was also revealing of your feelings, which surprised me because I had you pegged as a more tolerant human being.

Tell me, Bill, and I know it is "part of the Bowie story", but if you were giving the eulogy at his funeral, would you have felt the need to bring it up, even if you said it in a complimentary manner? Even if you said he was a nice faggot?

I can't help but think that we would still be talking about his music and talent if Bill had not started the slide toward degeneration of this thread with his "I wasn't a fan of Bowie because I was a bit of a homophobe" remark. Bill took a perfectly respectful thread during this sad time and turned it into something dirty.

[BillB]

I'm just a guy who posts on RGP, but these are PROFESSIONAL writers, and
they saw fit to put it in the *headline* of this Bowie obituary piece:

So ya, I guess I WOULD bring it up at his funeral, you cocksucker.
Besides, if Howard Stern can open with a joke about Joan Rivers' dried
up pussy during her eulogy, I think I can at least mention Bowie's
sexuality in his.

I don't remember Bea saying I "project a lot", and I certainly didn't
call Bea a lifetime loser. I said that's how she strikes me. Big
difference, to anyone with a three digit IQ (which is why you were
confused).

Who is this Bowie guy?

What are nitrilosides? Is that the latest miracle nutrient?

Puhleese!!! Bowie was a tagger-on when it came to gender fuck. Iggy Pop and The Stooges, Candy Darling and Andy Warhol, Christine Jorgensen, Billy Tipton?, and what about Alice Cooper! Look at the teeny bobber magazines of the late '60's and they were full of feminine men.

Yes, Bowie was ground breaking in that he was there whether or not you were looking for it. Plenty of people hated queers back then, but he was "one of the good ones" (he was married and had children).

If David Bowie made you uncomfortable, you had plenty of time before him to bash fags. Bowie made gender bending financially commercial.

I was just looking through Amazon. Man, he had a hell of a run. So many fine songs just inextricably embedded into American culture. Space Oddity, Starman, Changes, Fame, Rebel Rebel, Heroes, Life On Mars and the list goes on and on. Showtime did a really nice documentary about David Bowie a while back. If anyone subscribes it's probably on demand for free.

He wasn't even. He just made money on it. First he said he was gay, then he said he was bi, then he said he was straight and then said all the queer stuff was made up. Sort of like white people pretending to be black.

He was a good musician. He worked hard and had attention to detail. But after his gender-bending schtick ran out, he was just another musician selling yet another album.
