Explain how it changed peoples lives. Thats hyperbowl .
But you did hit on why Bowie was so big in the UK and not in the USA. I have tried to explain why this is with artists like Bowie before but I get shouted down. Queen and the Smiths are two more.
England is a feminine country compared to the USA. So artists like that make it big in the UK but not in the USA..
Words fail me.
(Actually, not quite. "Hyperbowl" is a handy new word.)

As for Bowie: I says, after read his 'RS mag tribute', definitely the ego of Mick was very upset with all worldwide impact of Bowie's death , including all the celebs coming out saying he changed forever their lives et al. After his 'RS mag tribute', I knew there will be no DB tribute in any Stones gig... his ego wasnt amused
What a ridiculous post. This reminds me of fans who called him callous for not paying tribute onstage to L'Wren. Mick Jagger ain't wired that way! He's a pro and an entertainer. Christ, he flew home for his father's death, then flew all the way to Las Vegas and did the gig without mentioning a word. You gonna tell me he didn't love his father? Get real, people.

Was he upset at all about Glenn Frey? Could you ask NME just to be sure?
Why don't you ask instead, Munich. We'll wait right here for the answer.
Nothing so far...hang tight though, he's prolly just busy in Cuba and I've left a colorful voicemail
Apparently Mick feels comfortable with the Glenn Frey situation, having just appeared on his last album. (Mick's memory is a little sketchy when it comes to the personalities of the individual Eagles).
Glenn Frey or Don Henley?

People who knock how Mick handles grief are just telling us alot about themselves. They think life is like some talk show where you have to sit there and talk about your feeling all the time. There were actually people on here who thought Mick should sing Just Like a Women at the first Stones concert after Scott's death. WTF
For me I have much more of a problem understanding people who have to share their feeling about everything. The type of people who when someone close to them dies they have to talk to everyone about it. Thats cringe worthy to me and to me it cheapens everything.

Mick, for all his extrovert behaviour, is in some ways a deeply private person and doesn't wash his emotional dirty linen in public, but isn't it possible that both kinds of people may be experiencing genuine grief? I'm definitely with you in the keeping-it-private camp. I'm not into watching that kind of talk-show, or expecting on-stage "tributes" for all and sundry, but that's how some people operate and it isn't necessarily insincere, though it can sometimes feel that way.

Mick has always shown great dignity and restraint throughout his many public trials, of course with the tragedy of L'Wren and also Keith's most disloyal book. I think that is something rare in the world of A-listers (and something DB also shared) and to be admired.
If Mick says "I was very upset" about the death of Bowie- this really means something.
