this is based on a thread saying things i can’t admit to. I couldn’t find it again but i love David Bowie.

That he was noncey? 👀😬

Namechanged555 · 18/10/2025 23:48

I loved his music. It was in many ways child like. I loved it back when i was a child. I don’t listen to it so much now but could.

Why would this be something you can't admit to? I love him too!

suburberphobe · 18/10/2025 23:49

Me too!

Blessed to have seen him as Ziggy Stardust at a small venue as a teenager.

People who slag him off need to get a life. 😅

I remember being a level physics student and our male teacher telling us how awful he was. But he had obviously never listened to him. Star man, the man who sold the world ….

Agree, man was a legend.

MrsMattSantos · 18/10/2025 23:51

wow @suburberphobe I’m sooo jealous. David Bowie is the one artist I really wish I’d seen that I’ll never get the chance to
to have seen him somewhere small must have been awesome

Get a grip

suburberphobe · 18/10/2025 23:57

It was @MrsMattSantos

But then again, I missed Bob Marley live! 😥

But anyway, his kids make great music too, so enjoy them on Youtube....

Bob Marley or David Bowie?

tbh I’d forgotten David has been cancelled for having sex with very young girl. I also think that is fair enough. I actually do think less of him for that. I’m not sure if we can ever say ‘it was just a different time’.

I’ve gone off him. I’ve gotten a grip.

He had sex with underage girls. Dunno if I’d be so quick to shout my adoration for him from the rooftops

aquashiv · 19/10/2025 00:12

He was a pedophile, and don’t try to excuse it by saying it was a different time.

Namechanged555 · 19/10/2025 00:16

I didn’t.

OP posts:
TwinklyStork · 19/10/2025 00:16

Nah. Potential noncery aside, I just find him and his music incredibly pretentious. Hate his voice too.

Actually, make that six.

Namechanged555 · 19/10/2025 00:19

Sorry everyone. I don’t like him anymore. I’m sure that’s why i don’t like his music anymore either. But I expect I will still be attacked on this thread.

It’s all such a horrendous thing.

Why wasn’t he challenged back when he was alive?

OP posts:
Minniliscious · 19/10/2025 00:23

Wow - you did a complete u-turn within 35 mins 😂😂 Go to bed dear ……

augustusglupe · 19/10/2025 00:24

You’ll be challenging an awful lot of rock stars then, most of them probably.
David Bowie was and is one of the most talented charismatic stars to ever exist.
No one tells me who I should like or not.

Namechanged555 · 19/10/2025 00:24

Ok dear.

I live down the road from his childhood home. Saw him and Iman on what I assume was a ‘farewell’ visit, didn’t approach, didn’t want to encroach. I grew up to his music, bloody love him
