I'm actually very sad he's dead, he was one of my favorite people who I never met, but i do have to say, it's a small consolation that his age at death was the funny weed number

ron sweetie the separation of the 2 threads was a brilliant move by my friend glompton so we didn't have to argue about how to post about this. the 2 threads should respect each other's space
Thank you for the beautiful sig Machai!

just like Houdini. david bowie was famous for his ability to tolerate farts to the face but this time he wasn't ready. character actor george wendt crept up to a dozing david bowie and dropped thirty pounds of bean and meat mist right into his face. he was dead before he hit the ground.

Afraid of Americans was a really good song but I gotta be honest, Heathen was my favorite album of his.

I know it's uncomfortable to bring up but I don't think we can talk about him responsibly without bringing up the whole sleeping-with-13-year-olds thing in the 70s. I mean that was definitely rape and hosed up. That entire cabal of rock stars and the baby groupies and poo poo, like, just a prime example of a group of powerful men covering each other's tracks abusing young women and grooming them for child abuse. You can argue until you're blue in the face that he thought they were of age or they consented despite their age or any number of bullshit excuses but it was still incredibly hosed up child abuse. The balance of power between millionaire rock star and barely teenaged child is just incalculably large. Lori Maddox, the girl that Jimmy Page would keep as a practical captive from 14 onwards said that Bowie took her virginity at 13, and also slept with Sable Starr at the same time, who was also 13. There's no way Bowie or any of those other guys could have mistaken them for being over 18.
Here's a good article talking about the crazy abusive culture of the time: http://www.feministcurrent.com/2015/07/15/on-jackie-fuchs-rape-and-the-bystander-effect/
Ultimately that's a major stain on Bowie, his career and his life and I'm not going to whitewash his history to pretend it didn't happen, like, it seems like all those guys get a free pass for being rock stars, or just like 'It was a crazy time and they were on drugs', but I don't think any of that stuff excuses it. I believe it's important to acknowledge the problematic aspects of someone's history, even if you still do appreciate it other ways. I loved his music and believe overall his legacy was a lasting, positive influence on the world. But the hand-waving and victim-blaming on the whole baby groupies thing is bizarre. Iggy Pop even has a song that straight up says 'I slept with Sable when she was 13', how did nobody involved in that practical child sex ring get charged?

Its really bad, and there isnt really an excuse. I know bowie had said he didnt really remember much from 72-75 at all, though say if charges were brought against him then yeah he should still have had his rear end slammed in a bear trap. that said if you love his work thats just fine, its possible to separate the two--but yeah i try to keep that in mind

quote:“We got to the Beverly Hilton and all went up to Bowie’s enormous suite. I found myself more and more fascinated by him.
“He was beautiful and clever and poised. I was incredibly turned on. Bowie excused himself and left us [Lori and Sable] in this big living room with white shag carpeting and floor-to-ceiling windows. Stuey brought out champagne and hash. We were getting stoned when, all of a sudden, the bedroom door opens and there is Bowie in this loving beautiful red and orange and yellow kimono,” Lori told Thrillist.com.
“He focused his famously two-colored eyes on me and said, “Lori, darling, can you come with me?” Sable looked like she wanted to murder me. He walked me through his bedroom and into the bathroom, where he dropped his kimono. He got into the tub, already filled with water, and asked me to wash him. Of course I did.
“Then he escorted me into the bedroom, gently took off my clothes, and de-virginized me.”
Two hours later, Lori went to check on Sable who was high as a kite, and repeatedly saying, “I want to f*ck David.” To which Bowie said, “Well darling, bring her in.”
“That night I lost my virginity and had my first threesome. He was totally bisexual. I saw David many times after that, for the next 10 years, and it was always great,” Lori told Thrillist.com.
It's hosed up if he did that, which he probably did. Lori sounds happy about it, so uh, I guess it could be worse?
