Morrissey Rickrolls Bowie

[thfcsteff]

Amuses me how the poseur critics are fawning about Bowie releasing an album after a long hiatus, but criticise others for taking too long.

I'm a critic and not a poseur, so allow me to answer this.
It's because for a decade he did absolutely nothing, didn't pretend he was doing anything, didn't shape up to say something was coming and didn't attempt to keep himself in the limelight because he needed to pay a bill. He just did whatever he did. In terms of artists like him, I wish more of them would take their time and release things worth hearing as opposed to squeezing awful brick struggles at past glories. Besides, to re-emerge as he did with no warning is something David Blaine couldn't achieve...

"5 or 6 decent songs"???

I'm a huge Smiths fan but even I think Morrissey is an absolute arse.

Never been much of a bowie fan, I tihnk this gets to the heart of him though

But living like a cross between a chameleon and a magpie (Mr. Bowie is a voracious assimilator of influences) has its downsides. Read the vintage interviews, and it’s striking how often intimations of hollowness occur, the sense of a man who outwardly appears superconfident but who battles feelings of self-loathing and doubt. “When I saw a quality in someone that I liked, I used it later as if it were my own”; “I’m not an innovator. I’m really just a Photostat machine. I pour out what has already been fed in.” It seems as if “a continuing, returning feeling of inadequacy over what I’ve done” has helped propel the restless remaking of sound and style.​

In regard to the original NME story. Its hardly a 'RickRoll'. Why would Bowie give a brick if Mozza has a comedy figure on Mozzas single cover?
