phart Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Bowie stowed a row of low growers' towed mowers but a blow with a crow-bar made glowing rainbows flow. You'll need to re-evaluate Donny, i just read that Bowie was a big fan of cats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirk Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Id say that was an achievement for any artist Pick any others and try and name 10 songs Bowie was without doubt an icon and a changer of attitudes His influence reaches far and wide across the musical divide - so many bands especially in the 70s and 80s would probably be unheard of if it wasnt for Bowie I was born in 1967 so was too young to experience Bowie mania and was never a big fan but he has always been there throughout my lifetime. I guess it brings our own mortality to the forefront which is why many people including me feel a bit sad Not really saying its a bad thing but more the need to be seen to be saying RIP to a dead celeb. Knowing those on my froends list i doubt tbey are all Bowie fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie Endell Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Apparently he has been secretly cremated with no family or friends present as he wanted to go without a fuss - I like his style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wanderer Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 (edited) Er, yeah. No need to maintain the secrecy once he's been burnt. "Ashes to ashes / Funk to Funky" Suppose will start the myths and conspiracies.... like Yoko keeps Johns in a urn under her bed..... George was cremated to avoid some death tax....Lynyrd Skynyrd were cremated wearing Neil Young "Tonight's the night" t-shirts etc Edited January 14, 2016 by wanderer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orraloon Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Funerals - unless you're religious I don't see the point. Funerals don't need to be religious. I was at one last week and not one mention of any religious nonsense. Just a lot of folk trying to help the nearest and dearest through a difficult time by sharing loads of happy memories.

Bristolhibby Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Funerals - unless you're religious I don't see the point. They are cathartic. I couldn't give two hoots about the religious aspect, but getting friends and family together is enormously beneficial IMO. Just the ability to talk and have that release of emotions is very important. Personally I see the wake just as, if not more important than the funeral.

ErsatzThistle Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Funerals - unless you're religious I don't see the point. Agree. I posted just before Christmas my what my wishes are for disposing of my corpse after death. I won't be having a funeral for myself and in fact I choose not to go to funerals at all. I prefer to remember someone as they were and not indulge in any weepy stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes I do 'enjoy' a good old-fashioned CoS or RC funeral (just depends on the MC). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orraloon Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Sometimes I do 'enjoy' a good old-fashioned CoS or RC funeral (just depends on the MC). As far as I know I've never been to a RC one. Is it them that have wakes? I don't think I've ever been to a wake. I don't think this was a humanist funeral. I've been to a couple of humanist weddings and they made sure everybody knew it was "humanist". I guess that was to avoid offending auld dearies and religious nuts? The funeral certainly wasn't advertised as "humanist". Just a woman, who I didn't know, doing the compare bit and some folk getting up to do a wee spiel, interspersed with a few Johnny Cash songs. As far as funerals go, it was pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, I could go for something like that myself (although a swift box and dispatch is still my preferred exit). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel the same about "RIP" - what's that supposed to mean unless you actually believe that what follows death could be anything other than peaceful?

Not quite ready for the eternal one yet though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
