>>you're joking right? of course he hung out in gay clubs in the
early 70's. the whole ziggy stardust period and just prior was his
big bid for stardom using bisexuality as another level of
outrageousness.

gee, greg. no need to be so snarky. i was just throwing it out there
in case of homophobia, whether from the author or anyone else
here. i was also soapboxing a bit about bowie's subsequent gay
denials, which you didn't quote.
even if someone seems like they might be joking, sometimes they
aren't. on one dark music e-list someone said, no joke, that he
was upset that people on the list were insulting douglas pearce by
saying he was gay. i bet he really did go and burn his death in
june records once everyone set him straight (pun only
half-intended).
