Can someone tell me what this expression means?

Question

Something is"blown over for someone"...



Here's the context (I'm an English teacher working on a M. Manson interview about the Columbine shooting):

Kurt Loder:
Do you feel that's pretty much all blown over for you, the whole Columbine thing?
Marilyn Manson:
I think it has. I think it was kind of insulting of the media to exploit that particular event, because so many other events like that happened.

Thanks for your answers. It gets clearer indeed.

Answer 1

You'll know the expression : don't worry! It will blow over ...= cela va se calmer/ s'apaiser ..
So that's it !
it does not mean it is finished and in the past ( as it is mentioned above)...; that would be >> done with
Something getting more sedate ...quite an event I should think for Marilyn ...!

Hope this helps *Shippo!

Answer 2

It means that the event and/or all the commotion it caused is not very important anymore. It's origins are in weather commentary, as in: 'It was raining hard, but now the storm has blown over' - meaning the storm has moved on, out to sea, whatever. Hope that helps?

Answer 3

Your question starts from a misconception
Something someone can not be blown over FOR someone
The expression is best understood as "extinguished" "in the past" "forgotten"
The complete sentence however is not quite as definitive as the expression alone "pretty much blown over" should be understood as "mostly erased" (from your feelings)
By her answer I think it is the way Marilyn understood the question!

Answer 4

Blown over = in the past as a storm has blown over - gone.

Answer 5

"Blown over" simply means that the incident is in the past with no lingering impact on the person who was effected by it earlier.

Answer 6

The reporter is asking if Manson feels this is all behind him now.

Is this ordeal in the past? is the meaning of his question.
