Didn't love everything he did but the stuff I liked, I loved. Young Americans, great song.

"We live for just these twenty years
Do we have to die for the fifty more?"

I remember a big rumor back in those days was that Mick Jagger's wife caught Mick in bed with David Bowie. Like a said it was the scuttlebutt back then.

Bowie himself may not have even known what he was. He said he was gay in the early 70s then declared himself bisexual and then that he had always been heterosexual.

But that he spent the past quarter century married to Iman must mean something pretty straight, huh?

Might’ve been the homosexuality. Might’ve been cancer from cigarette smoking. Either way it’s the fags that killed him.

Maybe, maybe not. He and Iman have been married for 24 years and reportedly have been very happy together. Here is another article from 1993:

Guess it really can work both ways. He discovered "who he really was."
