Jason Mendoza said:I just don't feel anything when it comes to Balašević. I can't call him a good musician or even a great songwriter. It’s totally empty. Honestly, I don't see how he could ever be relevant.
It all feels so distant to me. I can't relate to the songs, and none of it triggers any kind of reaction.
That wasn't the case, for instance, when Coce or Oliver passed away. I felt massive sadness and nostalgia then. (If someone played anything by those two right now, I might actually weep).
bye bye baby
Out of all the recent deaths we've seen, only Arsen caused me any sadness. Real sadness, though weak... it's not like I knew the man.
But he was a symbol of something better... something purely talented.
Similar to Bowie on a global scale. In fact, I was even more saddened by Bovi than by Arsen. 😁 Bowie is the personification of the better side of an entire century.
