Why does he say 'ass'? He is British, he should be saying 'arse'.

Ass and arse are two different things, anon

He means he's looking for a donkey
>>
>>61574021
The word 'ass' isn't used in Britain
>>
>>61574063
Just like "toothbrush"
>>
>>61574063
it is, though
it's a word for a donkey, and this would still be the case if americans cared about the meanings of the language they took

but I guess "I could care less"
>>
You are aware that he's not going to say "aRse" right? That's not how they speak.
>>
>>61574094
True, but he clearly pronounces it the American way.

>the language they took

You're acting like American created their country and then selected a language

He's lived in America for the past 20 years maybe he's picked up on the linguistics?

It really isn't. It's the lowest-hanging fruit when it comes to jokes about British people.

I'm from Britain and not everyone says 'arse', maybe most of England do but the Welsh certainly pronounce things differently

Bowie was a protagonist of his times, although a poor musician: to say that Bowie is a musician is like saying that Nero was a harp player (a fact that is technically true, but misleading). Bowie embodies the quintessence of artificial art, raises futulity to paradigm, focuses on the phenomenon rather than the content, makes irrelevant the relevant, and, thus, is the epitome of everything that went wrong with rock music.

Each element of his art is the emblem of a true artistic movement; however, the ensemble of those emblems constitutes no more than a puzzle, no matter how intriguing, of symbols, a roll of incoherent images projected against the wall at twice the speed, a dictionary of terms rather than a poem, and, in the best of hypotheses, a documentary of the cultural fads of his era.
