And I would be afraid of the metrosexual drugs David was obviously on most of his life; yet he was accepted by the average American. hahaha

He wasn't even gay; it was just the look/act that was hot back then. David liked Black women always. I saw him on his last tour just before the collapsed vein or whatever it was. He was with his smokin' hot Black North-African-ancestry wife. True, he did enough coke to kill a few herds of elephants but coke doesn't make you gay—does it?! He has gone on ahead.

Didn't he get caught in bed with McJagger? Maybe that's just an urban legend cooked up to sell albums.

That was the story that went around but I don't want to think about it. I just like the music: Young Americans, Station to Station and such. Bowie said he didn't remember recording Station to Station.

Bowie wouldn't pussy out on shit. Of course he did...

Figure of speech bro, figure of speech. Aside from that, I know someone that ran in those circles, and they claim he was bi; again not 'gay', but figure of speech.

Shit, I give up, I'm not going to cow-toe to this reactionary banned word shit. The other day, talking to a neighbor, and her child, I was relaying a fond memory of a black man I worked with; I respected him very much.

The kid went into some sort of fucking autistic 'nah nah nah nah nah' as he covered his ears, and walked away as soon as I said, 'black man'. I guess you cannot offer descriptions anymore, or personify anyone more than shades of grey in this great new utopia....

My life's too short for bullshit; I've never fit in, and when you think about it, even those who think they do, are just lying to themselves, and ignoring their own self.

I just like to defend him because I like the music but who knows what happened really. Would rather not know.

Probably Black is still cool. In the latest Eastwood movie he says something like, "You're a very nice Negro couple." And they say, Negro? We prefer Black. In my lifetime it has been Negro, Afro-American, African American and Black. Yeah, life is too short to worry about stuff that changes so often. She was one fine hammer though, sayin? 🙃

I can understand that. I like some rock bands, I like the bands for their music, but I also know that a member of a more popular rock band from the 90's had a few very violent sexual assaults covered up by the band promoter, and manager; lots of hush money paid out.

I still like the music.
