Don’t worry, Bing slapped enough people about for both of us. Usually his wife and kids.
Sad if you never cared for him, but millions of us loved him and his great music. He made some of the best pop and rock of all time, and was a master of showmanship and musical versatility. His influence of music and pop culture was and is immense.
As to a pervert, his androgyny was show, a brilliant artifice. He was in fact a twice married heterosexual with children. His bi-sexuality was a skilful and brilliant fake, designed to push the cultural boundaries and loosen people up.
Yes, I will miss him greatly, as will many here on FR and across the world. A nice man, a great artist.
The lesson of David Bowie was that, here was a guy that questioned all of the conventions in the 60s and 70s, and tried all of the alternative lifestyles, and what did he conclude?
That the conventional ways were best, as evidenced by the fact that he spent the last 20+ years of his life as a devoted husband and family man.
