According to a reliable source, Pink Floyd guitarist David Gilmour is leading the race to become Time magazine's Person of the Year in 2024. But while the guitarist's fans are thrilled with the news, many people hold a very different opinion.
UPDATE 21/11/2024 : This story seems to be false. (read more)
Why not Gilmour for Person of the Year?
The list of nominees for Time magazine’s Person of the Year is always an eclectic mix of world leaders, pop culture icons, buzzworthy names, and human rights activists. The unexpected inclusion of the 78-year-old guitarist, as a 2024 nominee has therefore sparked controversy and debate.
“What makes Gilmour so important is the potential and influence he now has, rather than anything he has already done,” said a panelist who preferred to remain anonymous, adding that earlier this month, the guitarist have already been named ‘Briton Of The Year’ by some major British newspapers and even ‘Cambridge Citizen Of The Year’ by the readers of a local gazette in Cambridge (David Gilmour's hometown).
Social Reactions to TIME’s Person of the Year
A representative for the guitarist was not immediately available for comment, but the announcement generated immediate reaction on Twitter:
“David Gilmour Named Person of the Year Is No ‘Surprise’.”
— @TheNewsEditor, 20 Nov 2024
“Congrats! David has this charisma that seems to come out of nowhere.”
— @SamanthaJones, 20 Nov 2024
“Past recipients include Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler ... then why not David Gilmour?”
— @TheClassicObserver, 20 Nov 2024
Could 2024 officially be the Year of David Gilmour?
Still, TIME’s editors will make the final decision about who will grace the magazine’s cover as its 2024 Person of the Year.
Who do you think should be TIME’s Person of the Year for 2024?
