“One should not speak ill of the dead, of course, especially of the recently dead....”
And then the jackass does exactly that.
And yes, who could ever argue that Bowie was bigger than Umm Kulthuma? I remember all those top 40 Egyptian Hits playing as the soundtrack to kids lives in the 70s and 80s. lol,,,, just wow.
Justin Bieber and Lady Gaga soundtracks are a big part of kids’ lives today, doesn’t mean that their “music” is worth a damn. I’m not saying Bowie was as phony and utterly untalented as they are, but arguing merit from popularity doesn’t count for much. After all, popularity also got Obama elected twice.
