>As usual with Bowie, Blackstar (RCA, 2016), produced again by Tony Visconti,, is mostly image and very little about the music. The ten-minute Blackstar, that was supposed to be the centerpiece, is little more than a funereal litany a` la Doors with jazz horns that goes on five minutes too many. Bowie crooning melodramatic in Lazarus (from his Broadway musical about an alien who falls in love) or romantic in Dollar Days is either delirious and pathetic, certainly not entertaining. His tedious voice interferes with the driving jazz jam of 'Tis a Pity She Was a Whore and with the frenzied and tense Sue (a 2014 single). Even when the voice is not a distraction, the rest is hardly intriguing: I Can't Give Everything Away boasts an awful distorted guitar against syncopated beats and layers of electronic drones: not exactly genius. This is trivial "music" that any amateur could make, except that most amateurs would be ashamed to release it.
>Bowie died of cancer in january 2016.

>le Scaruffi is a pedo meme
when will this stop
>>70112359
When the part where he talks about being a pedo stops existing.
>>70112918
in that part, he simply points out that in the past, pedophilia was not as reviled as it is in modern society, and it was fairly common for very young people to get married to/have sex with older people.
he points this out in relation to some thing about gay marriage. he was not advocating for nor condoning pedophilia, the specific line "why can't I marry a 12-year-old" has been presented out of context so much that people actually believe he meant it now, instead of taking the time to read the full article themselves so they can see what he was actually trying to say.
as a matter of fact, Scaruffi condemns pedophilia in his article about Islam, pointing out how immoral it is for people to worship a pedophile prophet and then claim there is nothing wrong with their religion.
