Jesus, the level of discussion in music journalism and pop culture programmes back then compared to the non stop candyfloss today. It's not just me is it?
@@thewraith93 Or has everything been dumbed down across the board? Compare the level of debate on News programmes and other cultural shows between then and now.
haha the fkin 80's man were ridiculous in so many ways. irony /post irony / industrial chic / post industrial chic. everyone thought they were cool but no one knew why.
Bowie didn't give a fascist salute at Victoria Station, photographs and film from the day show prove that. But NME, for whom Cosgrove worked later on, chose to print images where it looked like he might be. Another instance of the UK music press whipping up controversy where there was none.
All the papers, and the tabloids, printed the same programmes, not to mention Bowie's professed 'admiration' (no matter how qualified. Go fanboy somewhere else and face reality.
@@Spectrescup Considering there's actually footage from Victoria Station that shows him merely waving to the (unexpectedly large) crowd of fans, I'm afraid it appears you're mistaken. Shuffle off and spit your venom elsewhere, ducky.

The idea of being cool or taking pop culture terribly seriously has had its day, so it seems.

@thewraith93 but all those were good things. They kept the nerds at bay, but now they rule the roost.
Social media has rotted the brains of virtually every under 30 year old in Britain.
RIP both Magenta and Tony
Tony Wilson wore union jack underpants RIP
Magenta divine
Well said Stuart Cosgrove
Sweet Jesus, these people are so self-important, it's hilarious.
Stuart's not, but the other two are jokes

Hardly recognised Tony there. Must be the sunglasses.

I appreciate Tony Wilson but both these guys are so conceited talking over Magenta who was a fabulous woman.
Agreed.
