Separatists Scots crapping on Bowie today online

A number of old school Brit WWII era born rock lords are to the right on many things

Especially the specialness of England

http://www.snopes.com/music/artists/bowie.asp

From Wikipedia: “Bowie declared himself gay in an interview with Michael Watts in the 22 January 1972 issue of Melody Maker,[207] a move which coincided with the first shots in his campaign for stardom as Ziggy Stardust.[55] In a September 1976 interview with Playboy, Bowie said: “It’s true—I am a bisexual. But I can’t deny that I’ve used that fact very well. I suppose it’s the best thing that ever happened to me.”[208] According to his first wife Angie, Bowie had a relationship with Mick Jagger.[209][210]”

When he dies the undertaker will be asked if he is done embalming, “No need.”

It doesn’t say wild gay orgies. No one’s denying he made the claim. Otho, it’s a fact that he made many claims solely for publicity.

Btw, are you saying Jagget engaged in wild gay orgies? I hadn’t heard that one.

By the way, my point in bringing out his MSM status in my first post wasn’t to beat a morality drum — although I do consider homosexuality, like all immorality, harmful — I was commenting that he’s another victim of the MSM lifestyle who chopped a decade or two off of his life.

The shortening of life was my point. You didn’t say anything to make me think you were disputing my intention. I simply want to repeat it. MSM is dangerous and shortens life.

I wasn’t focused on Jagger at all. My focus was links about Bowie. Jagger just happened also to appear in those links.

However, both Jagger and Stewart (in addition to Bowie) have always performed in a homosexual manner, so it wouldn’t surprise me to learn they were MSM.

There was a very forgettable movie in the 1980s called “Absolute Beginners”, but it had one memorable music number, from David, called “That’s Motivation”, you can see from this video Bowie’s talent as a performer.

Hence the saying, "He's not gay, he's just British."

My point is that the only person in the world who claims Bowie actually committed a homosexual act is his ex wife. Yes, she did have an ax to grind, and I can and do empathize. I’m not convinced, however, that she didn’t embroider her tale. She wouldn’t be the first.

Bowie was so coked up back then, I don’t even think he remembered half the things he did.

Maybe I’m missing something, but this appears to be a cite that I’ve seen elsewhere in which Bowie himself admits to MSM: “In a September 1976 interview with Playboy, Bowie said: “It’s true—I am a bisexual. But I can’t deny that I’ve used that fact very well. I suppose it’s the best thing that ever happened to me.”[208] “

‘However, both Jagger and Stewart (in addition to Bowie) have always performed in a homosexual manner, so it wouldn’t surprise me to learn they were MSM.’

But you wouldn’t, I take it, state as a fact that they had engaged in homosexual sex without reasonably sound evidence.

Bowie almost suffered a fatal heart attack ten years ago, no doubt as a result of the Cocaine abuse, which is why he pretty much retired from performing.

It’s the difference between saying something and acting it out/doing it. No one, least of all me, denies he said it. I’m saying there’s only one piece of evidence that he actually acted on it, and that is an ex wife who was none too happy with him at the time.
