I just tried to imagine a message board dominated by Midwestern construction workers and how it would react to Jon Bon Jovi's death.

British people here (assuming nomar is a British) are wildly overestimating Bowie's popularity in the states.
dang that's cold : /
but I'm probably overestimating it yeah.
― nomar, Thursday, 14 January 2016 23:51 (eight years ago) link
But I feel like people (maybe even now nomar as well, with this latest post) are misreading nomar's posts. I didn't read any of them as making any conclusions about Bowie's relative popularity anywhere. It was more about something particular ("can't quite put a finger on it" etc.) about Bowie and what he means.

Ha, apparently Jon Bon Jovi blocked The Next Day from going #1!

and it's ok if all we're talking about is "eccentric arty girls" (so to speak) because "eccentric arty girls" and their ilk might be a minority within any given county, but they're scattered throughout the land.

"I didn't say that all rock musicians will automatically produce watered-down versions of other genres... (For example, a couple years ago this popular Finnish singer who used to do boring MOR dad rock music unexpectedly shifted into 80s style dance pop a la Michael Jackson, and the results were great! The difference between that "Let's Dance" is that he seems to have put his heart fully into it, so ) I'm just saying that these particular examples (the Youtubes Shakey posted) don't sound as good as similar records released by "proper" electronic musicians of the same era."
^soul-ism (or R&Bism/dance-pop-ism, etc). :P basically saying that bowie should have tried harder to sound less english, less white, less 'rock', or just less 'bowie' (ie detached, a bit arch, 'stiff') when maybe it was bringing all those things to lets dance that made it what it was. now back to the debate over 'who had the better death'. bowie obv bowed out a lot more gracefully than JB, MJ or other artists who were still a little too caught in the crassness of showbizziness. DB seemed to not really want much to do with all that.

got to take greg tate's piece with a pinch of salt (was bowie really inspired by kendrick lamar?!, and Ive never too keen on comments like "Andy Warhol was so white he was black” but whatever...), but yeah, i always wondered about that p-funk mention of bowie. sure, clinton doesnt dis bowie, but he doesnt really give him props as such either (or maybe the lack of a dis should be considered a compliment).

"We were listening to a lot of Kendrick Lamar," says producer Tony Visconti.

Can't wait for the paintings of Lemmy, Prince, Bowie, Glenn Frey and Keith Emerson looking soulful and jamming on a cloud start cropping up.

i know its early days yet, but i imagine a far bigger outpouring of pieces on him in the US than the UK, compared to bowie.

"Win" is basically the perfect Bowie song, I doubt anyone could do it better.
