I've not been 'decrying RIPs for Bowie' but I have felt obliged to mention that I simply couldn't see what all the fuss was about. I've never enjoyed his music! (I've actually turned off Radio 2 tonight because there was a 2002 Bowie concert on. I tried to listen to it but gave up after half an hour, as I found it totally dire!)
Radio 2 also had a recent season dedicated to Frank Sinatra, whom I never saw as better than any average pub singer. (Give me Crosby any day!).
We're all different, I suppose!
