He definitely got the "Most Applause Award" at the SAG Awards tonight.

Class and decency to the end. I just wish the $$ details were left out (and I suspect they were under-reported) only because that's very personal and he fiercely protected his family's privacy. I expect that either The Smoking Gun or TMZ will have a full copy of it up fairly soon. Wills filed in NYC seem to be particularly easy for the public to access. I remember seeing JFK Jr's will too. |

Lady Gaga to pay tribute to Bowie at the GrammysI know he influenced multiple generations of musicians but if the producers only wanted one artist on the stage, I wish they would have invited someone like Iggy Pop, Eno or even Trent Reznor...you know, people who actually knew Bowie and worked with him. I truly hope she makes me eat my words, and I will readily do so if she does, but this just feels too featherweight for someone of such importance over the last half century of music. Even Joe Strummer got a send-off from Springsteen, Elvis Costello and Dave Grohl. I expected Bowie's contemporaries, at the very least. He was already 40 years old when Gaga was born.

I agree. It sounds like laziness to me. The article I read was like, "well she was performing anyway, so now she'll do a Bowie tribute because she's so influenced by him!"

I had the same thought. Surely some of his contemporaries/friends - the already mentioned Iggy Pop, Mick Jagger - would be more than happy to take part in a tribute to their friend. |

Bowie deserves better than Gaga, no matter how talented she may be.

Bowie deserves better than Gaga, no matter how talented she may be. I think she's complete crap, so I agree he deserves better. |

Yeah, I'm disappointed. It sounds like a really lazy and profit-oriented move to me.

I hope she doesn't do something weird, like Ziggy Stardust drag.

Whatever she does, it won't be as good as Annie Lennox at the Freddie Mercury Tribute show.
