“One might have thought he was really a figure of world historical importance such as David Beckham or Leonard DiCaprio.”
Oh, please.
I think that was a joke.
Right ... was that comment supposed to be sarcastic or serious? Is the author actually trying to make some kind of point, or is he just demonstrating a weird sort of snobbery?
Come on, guys. That’s sarcasm.
Could have meant that tongue-in-cheek.
That was a joke, son.
“One might have thought he was really a figure of world historical importance such as David Beckham or Leonard DiCaprio.”
Perhaps that was sarcasm? It’s hard to tell, I admit.
I just learned, to my extreme surprise that hubby isn’t a Bowie fan, at all, in any way. As he pointed out to me: you know I don’t have any Bowie in my [pretty substantial, probably over 1000 albums] music collection.
But, I must say he didn’t then go on to belabor how much he thought Bowie stunk.
This article seems rude. David Bowie was an artist (maybe) and entertainer (certainly) an awful lot of people liked him an awful lot, so if you didn’t why say anything?
