How can you say something so controversial, yet so true?!

Bowie isn't fantastic. Neither is Bill Murrey or Betty White. They are just people that have been grasped onto by social media and exemplified. It helps if they've died and get a "martyr" image too.

I mean some Bowie stuff is good, Life on Mars, Lets dance.... But he's just a British Melloncamp.
