    No it's true.
    I have no idea of this guys music.
    If anything the disrespect shown is a false picture of him?

    As applies to the un-related last sentence - people fuck up, no? - I tend to put sentiment above image. It'll be fixed. I'm sure the folks on that site weren't trying to be assholes...

    And really, you know of NO Bowie songs? Fine. Unusual but I'll buy into that. Still no reason to be discourteous.

    I must censor myself except to say, respect and love for Bowie. Long live the memory of one of the greatest.

    Yes.

    And Mods - should the need to review arise - would be pretty fucking sad in this circumstance actually - please take into account....well, what, or who, should be taken into account.

    Or not.

    Who knows?

    Not me.

    (or as my grammar-nazi would say - "not I")

    Gonna crank up some Ziggy!

    very sad day. Haven't been hit this hard since Robin Williams. But love all of the outpouring of love. Even to this second on my social media wall for David.

    Someone posted this on FB today and although it's not a Bowie song, he's singing and I thought it was perfect. (Actually it's interesting how many "perfect" tributes people have posted today - there are so many Bowie songs that mean so much to so many people.)

    why? people are paying tribute to a musical icon. show some respect.
    The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

    It is hard to take anything seriously when you have a wrassler dressed as music icon.
    Look, I have no doubt this bowie guy made good music during his time but that doesn't mean the PJ forum should be subdued because of his demise.
    PJ is eroding.

    subdued? really? this is not the porch, the entire forum doesn't have to be all about PJ, if you want to tell everybody how you feel about 'this bowie guy' go post your opinions on the porch...the thread over there has much more traffic.

    there were like 3 pages of condolences to the guy from one of those MTV jackass type shows who died from a drunk driving accident. This is the least we could do to a man who influenced and brought joy to many with his music.

    So stop posting in this thread. You say you never heard of Bowie and don't know any of his songs. Fine. Find another thread to post in.

    Please don't get this thread locked. This thread should remain for people who want to celebrate the life of David Bowie.
