Was on TV last night. Not that I give two shits about this guy but what a dickhead. Apparently he refused a Knighthood or something. Yacking on about it being elitist and all that. What so receiving music awards isn't the same thing. Get a life you sad socialist! I think we should take away his British passport what a gross insult! |
||||||||

|
hehe... I think Bowie is kinda cool. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you sound like you're 68. |
||||||||
|

I like bowie. He kind of has the Madonna syndrome where he will find something hip and collaberate with it, but all and all I like bowie. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
then take it overr, fuck it and dump it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
why he should be honored ? is he better than any of us ? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
These people get too full of themselves about time he ate some hubble pie. Well he lives in NY so quite frankly we don't see him here anyways. You know I was proud for old Mick Jagger when he received his honours the other day. You can tell he was really pleased, you know it was touching. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i sense a hint of sarcasm in your voice |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
do you mean humble pie? anyway, someone "eats humble pie" by getting a knighthood..? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
he is, yes. he's betterr than me that's forr surre. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
giving honours, orders so british , so oldfashion |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hyakusen, Honours don't necessarily mean a lot in that sense. But you're missing the point its like any accolade it is just a way of acknowledging your achievements in life but he wants to be a dickhead over it and start insulting a lot of people. People will remember him refusing these honours. Shit like that sticks. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hes not better than me except that hes making good music. that is not reason to give honours- fame is enough |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, i can understand you - i just dont like all this "honours"...i dont know , im not british - for me its like class segregation |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the people who rreally need to be awarrded neverr will be, not in 10000000000000000000 yearrs. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hyakusen, Thats it people want to smash up tradition but what are they going to replace it with? Their rules and their style, thats the bullshit of it. Its one elitism to another. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hyakusen, Anyone can receive honours businessmen, charity workers, do gooders, artists etc etc. You can get nominated by anyone, you don't have to be someone with gigantic powers per se. Its about life time achievement, fuck it it makes people proud. Its good, its all part of the mix of motivation for people in life. You know people give and they get something back, its harmless. Sure people feel superior with it but why shouldn't they? They earned it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Anus, What are you on about? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the rules are not neverending - they are changing - you cant do anuthing. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I will admit this there are a lot of bullshit honours but there are a lot of good ones too. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you have point here. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you wouldn't underrstand promo. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It's similar to the honour system that you avatar is displaying. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
disagree honour system of ancient japan is based on somethin completely different |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Anus, You do something good you have the chance to receive an honour. However I'm not going to bother explaining it 'cause no offence Anus but I really don't think you have enough experience to begin to understand how things work. A lot people like sling pies but most of the time they don't really know why they are slinging them in the first place. Its just misguided rage and resentment. |

That's just laugh out loud funny. |

Are you saying that Sir David Bowie isn't a Samurai? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
in order to be knighted you need to have leslie ash lips and a criminal record |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the most offensive part of jagger's knighthood is that he used to be a hero for the anti-establishment and now he's part of it |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
please, shut up promo |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
If this is true, May God bless you David Bowie. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the whole knighthood/honours/Sir thing is a fucking joke - who fucking cares about that shit anyway; I for one couldn't possibly care less. It's just another stupid old bullshit tradition. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
nlogax, Yeah well its obviously a tradition you don't understand. What if we decided to smash all Norway's traditions? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
earthleakage, Come on do you really believe that? That is just so cliche what you said. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
If you were to do so, I'd say please! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah and what do you replace them with just someone's elses. So please your argument is unsound. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It's not unsound - and I wouldn't replace them with anything, that's the whole point. and; yap yap yap |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Good on Bowie. Down with the monarchy and all this bullshit. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
TonyFish, Monarchy is just a figurehead. Why the resentment, it can only mean you feel small by comparison or uncomfortable with them. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
nlogax, Yes its unsound - think about what your saying first. Traditions are only forms of ritual but accepted on a grander scale so you remove some types of traditions then others forms of protocal and ritual just simply take their place. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
haha oh man you really crack me up. The british monarchy (and many others) is pointless. As you say it's a figurehead. Shouldn't such an entity set standards and a example to follow? Look at the windsors. Call that an example? Christ! Not to mention the amount of money wasted on these worthless people. All the pomp and ceremony, the self-glorification. This in a country with what some might describe as a third world health system, an intolerably inefficient public transport system and shitty pre-higher education (apart from the odd 'showcase' school obviously). Enough. It's time we got rid of them for good. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
is it really necessary to be so patronising towards everyone just because they disagree with you? pr*ck |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
bowie rules refusing such honour, he's got so much REAL honour in his life he doesn't need this FAKE honour btw what's wrong with being a socialist |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
this isnt a discussion this is just a succession of unwitty putdowns by someone who for whatever reason needs to belittle and bully people into his point of view. do us a favour promo and shut the fuck up. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
come on- its not a reason to another stupid insults - he has his right to be traditional - if he bieleves in tradishion of british honour - its his matter just live your live and let others do the same |
||||||||

Bowie has always been a graceful and surprisingly humble gentleman when he visits seattle. He has always been personable. he chats to the audience and takes requests. And of the 4 or 5 times i have seen him, he has never done the arrogant rockstar thing. Maybe it's just because he likes seattle, but he has never ever come accross as an asshole when he visits here. so if, in fact, he did "refuse the knighthood or something," i believe he probably had good reason, and was not trying to be a dickhead. for him to call it elitist seems spot on to me actually. frivolous titles do seem a bit pretentious. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
fuck off and stop shit stirring. and try reading what i said. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i agree, bowie's name alone denotes great accomplishment and honor. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
how come that people pick me as most agressive ? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I can't be arsed to read this thread. What's wrong with hime not taking the knighthood? |
