“When Bowie was age fifteen, his friend George Underwood, wearing a ring on his finger, punched him in the left eye during a fight over a girl.”
They fought over a girl? What was the argument? Underwood wanted to date the girl and Bowie wanted to wear her clothes?
That's pretty funny! However, David Bowie has always been a ladies man and had women chasing him since he was a kid.
From what I've read, he would bed men if they had the ability to help him professionally but always favored the women. Apparently the music scene in England was full of homosexuals in the 1960s and if you were going to make it as an act, you pretty much had to play along. Even the manager of The Beatles (Brian Epstein) was a notorious homosexual and it's rumored that he and John Lennon had more than just a business relationship.
Not saying that's a good thing.
