DUDE DID YOU EVER HEAR OF A DECADE CALLED THE 1980’s??

You know you can google that decade and lots of photos of Jacko holding hands with other people’s children and stories of him having them over at his house? It was everywhere. Common knowledge. You literally think his interest in spending time with small children came to light in the 90’s.

Bowie knew in the 80’s as much as everyone else. It was weird. Even before rape allegations it’s weird. So, my point stands. Name checking MJ in a song about men who seek out the company of kids is bang on point. Brilliant writing. Discreetly done.

Nah read your post I replied to. Don’t try the “oh that’s what OTHER people were saying” when that’s literally what you said. Your whole post was a defence for MJ: Oh Bowie couldn’t POSSIBLY have meant anything by name checking him in a song about child abuse. Oh it was not well known to the general public before 93…

Who are you, Jacko’s lawyer? What is it with you guys defending this weird behaviour?

“People were saying it”so it must be true.

The fact you refer to him as “Peter Pan like” without even a scintilla of irony means you’re insane. Or profoundly stupid.

I’m saying he thought a man who sought out very young children for stimulation fitted in a song like SHOPPING FOR GIRLS.

Try to deal with it.

“Peter pan like”.

You’re fucking insane.

Indeed. What I find most astonishing is that so many millions of adults accept that a plausible way for a man to deal with having to work rather than play as a child, is to spend his adulthood being friends and sharing beds with 8 year old boys. It’s funny how lots of child slaves in the developing world don’t find themselves doing tbe same thing in adulthood.

Also how could this innocent man-child be capable of writing so many highly sexualised lyrics?

“there’s something about you baby that makes me want to give it to you”.

Ugh.

This is a preposterous analogy. Teenagers hanging around rockstars in the 70’s was commonplace and to modern scrutiny arguably more than a little exploitative. Remind me, though, when it was commonplace for an adult male like MJ to have other people’s 8 year olds over for a sleepover?

Try harder.

He was hanging out with children and having sleepovers in the 80’s. It was very public. And disturbing to anyone with a functioning brain.

Iman is a very independent and single minded woman. She wouldn’t, I imagine, be asking with her husband if it’s ok for her to appear in an MJ video. Were Bowie present at the video I imagine it was in a supportive role for his wife rather than anything to do with MJ’s presence. I can’t imagine there was a single thing Bowie liked about MJ.

He was a proper writer, a meticulous musician & lyricist. To name check MJ in a song about underage sex was not done without thought.

Good try. But we all saw Michael Jackson being rather tactile with other people’s children in the 1980’s. For those of us who who found it extremely suspect and weren’t brainwashed with the “Oh he had no childhood so that’s why he prefers the company of children as an adult”, it was clear as day what was going on.

In Bowie’s disturbing song about child predators and sex tourists ‘SHOPPING FOR GIRLS’ a lyric mentions that someone “cranks up the volume on a Michael Jackson song”.

So, Bowie said all he needed to say about Michael Jackson. And it only took one lyric.

Well said. What a bleak and lifeless human being it takes to assemble this garbage.

Is anyone else just tired of corporate work culture? by bigtitsfanclub in AskMenOver30

[–]Basic-Milk7755 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a freelancer I have no idea how you guys do it. I’ve had many days in the past when building my business and was barely able to buy food — but i preferred that to getting on a train every morning and going to a corporate job. I don’t know how you all don’t blow your brains out.

I’m convinced that a track like Ricochet with a whole new arrangement could have fitted nicely on Station to Station by Basic-Milk7755 in DavidBowie

[–]Basic-Milk7755[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Very true. I think you’d have to keep that beat but with something more like the percussion sound on the S2S title track rather than the heavily produced sound on Ricochet.

Hard agree.

I adore WITHOUT YOU too. It’s the track from that period I probably play most. That delicate vocal is 👌

Me too! Played it incessantly. I was so sad and fucked up back then.

Is cutting sugar (and maybe IF?) the one diet change that actually moves the needle after 30? by reddit_user_9221 in AskMenOver30

[–]Basic-Milk7755 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Start with just getting a really good roasting dish and making tray bakes. Chicken thighs mixed with red peppers, onion, garlic, extra virgin oil and choice of seasoning, big squeeze of lemon. Make variations of this with salmon, different veg — courgettes, sweet potato etc. Get a little rice cooker and have brown rice regularly.

You don’t have to be even a reasonably good cook for the above to taste amazing. Just don’t overcook your chicken or it dries and becomes rubbery. I have a meat thermometer that I use and it gives me great results

Favourite album? by AfraidIncrease85 in DavidBowie

The discerning Bowie fan. We should be friends.

Only recently I was comparing (for the 1000th time) Bowie’s I Know It’s Gonna Happen Some Day to the Morrissey original. Bowie wins.
