linkedin dude on bowie reminded me of coming across this, maybe the thing that links all of owen's favourite musicians is their profound influence on the corporate world

Not about Bowie though, although it is fashion-related.

"Nirvana rehearsed ten hours a day before recording 'Nevermind' because their house was so freezing they tried to stay away from it as much as possible."
Literally cool. Not enough modern artists are freezing.

though he did accurately capture how every Bowie fan subsumed their personalities becoming mindless Hitler drones.
Golly! This is the kind of abjection that Hitler was once offered. One is tempted to say that they are the words of natural, or at least willing, slaves who seek to dissolve their selves and forego their will for that of some other person.

no, that's not what i'm saying. there's a certain strain of discourse that codes as right wing right now, but that exists mainly to fuck shit up. it's apolitical if anything; its only aims are to elevate the profiles of its figureheads, who cultivate cults of personality made up of the easily charmed. but a closer look reveals that its arguments are incoherent, its convictions based in little more than sticking wet fingers into the air.

people should have to get this post tattooed on the backs of their hands to stop them from sharing this shit on FB. it's just garbage of no consequence. instead my social justice friends write thinkpieces about "don't tell me not to respond to this inconsequential garbage that moves no needles anywhere and would get no traction outside of its own cesspool if I weren't inflating it with helium"
