But... why are you being sarcastic? No one else has been claiming Bowie is a dirty fucking liar, so you're out of the realm of satire.

just because someone has a lot of money doesn't mean they have nothing to complain about. ya know it could be stressful coming up with new material after he's been doing it for so long. skull

Ding ding ding! We have a winner. He must have meant to use some word besides "sarcasm", because there's nothing close to sarcasm anywhere in that post.

The headline seems a little harsh.

Of courde, in the author's defense, it DID get us all to read it AND write a bunch of comments; I've seen headlines and articles that have inspired less.

I missed the sarcasm, too. I should have seen it in your eyes.

"Irony," perhaps?

Sarcasm? Ohhhhkay.

I'm not sure if sloppy writing = obscure, but I got that you were trying to make some kind of joke. It just wasn't funny. Feel free to blame everyone else for missing the hilarity, though.

Subtle sarcasm + the internet = an audience that "doesn't get it." That's why we have the wink smiley. But that doesn't work for news stories, so you're gonna have to be a bit more clear about what you mean.



Yea, you need the emoticon.

and even still- you do NOT mock Bowie.

Who cares? It's incredibly easy to write sarcastic, detached, hipper-than-thou copy when you don't have to worry about things like making sense or being funny or providing genuine insight.

Yeah, but it seems the reaction to this article is a bit out of proportion to the offense, given that I've seen dozens of others that are no better than this one pass without negative comment. Yeah, it's not super funny, and yeah, it's not particularly deep, but that isn't exactly a rare offense for the SG newswire.

The venom spewing here is ridiculous.

Hmm. Didn't expect so much response to my closing statement. Guess no one caught my sarcasm.wink

Wait, that was probably not the right word. confused

And, yeah, I never saw the Bowie Group0 before, either.

This has been one of the best threads I have ever read. For some reason my friends don't get my Bowie obsession- they like his music and think he's cool but just don't understand.
I've been in love with the man since I saw Labyrinth at six-he was my first crush.
*AWWW*
But anyway, the man has been performing for 40 YEARS!(or close enough) I think if he wants a break from recording and performing fair enough, and curating an arts festival isn't quite the same.
As for lying,it's no secret he's a bit of a fibber. He told reporters he was brought up in Brixton when it was 'full of blacks' for God's sake!
But the man is God.He can do whatever he wants in my opinion. love
