David Bowie, the leading story on BBC News, not so much much fuss over Lemmy, I mean come on BBC...
|

David Bowie was beloved of the sort of now 50-somethings that became TV "execs", Lemmy wasn't. If Bono were to kick the bucket, there'd be a three day mourning period on all of Auntie's channels, I swear it.
[Edit]
Should make it clear - I don't think the BBC's coverage of David Bowie's death has been a good thing - way too much of it and way too gushing.

Point made! I mean I like some of Bowies stuff! he did save Iggy Pop and I think you are right the arty-farty TV "execs" have a love for him out of balance coupled with a slow news day...

Is the new Leslie Nielsen....
Just saying.

Or Leslie was a Bowie without knowing it.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

This is sad: he was a brilliant man who made great music. A huge loss.

Have a 5 before the repugnant repost police arrive.
It was broke, so I fixed it.

...Nothing dodgy going on here I hope?
Have been roughed up a few times, after hearing bad news one gets a bit cranky, so sorry.

Thank you but I don't care about the repost on this occasion: I just woke up and heard about it (jetlag) and he was (musically) an important part of my life and was certainly influential enough to warrant as many posts as it takes.

Agreed, hence the 5 and the preemptive mini rant.

Whilst the world mourns a man who lost his battle with cancer yesterday, myself, my colleagues, and a couple of families and a few other men and women in the West Midlands are mourning the loss of another man who lost his battle with cancer yesterday.
Steve was a dev team leader where I currently work, he was in his early thirties, a few years ago he got married and just as the two of them should have been looking forward to their life ahead as a family he got the news he had a rare form of cancer.
He has fought it for years, very, very nearly died a number of times over the last couple, had a hell of a lot of other people's blood pumped into him, but last night was the limit he could do.
He was a wonderful man, one of the nicest people I have ever met, intelligent, witty, and his wife was lovely too. He has not been at work much over the last two or three years and I have missed him, the news shouldn't have come as a shock, but it has, massively.
I don't know how to process the news at the moment, typing this with tears streaming down my face, grief is a very selfish thing, but I am absolutely gutted for his wife.
I shall raise a glass of Hobgoblin for my mate Steve, and then a few more.

All one can do is to keep him in good memory, though it doesn't compensate for the loss...

I'll raise a G&T to Steven later.

I saw an email response had been blocked for language, I thought that'll be from Nagy.
Made me smile, thanks for that.
