Playboy Interview with Bowie.
PLAYBOY: Let's start with the one question you've always seemed to hedge: How much of your bisexuality is fact and how much is gimmick?
BOWIE: 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. Fun, too. We'll talk all about it.
PLAYBOY: Why do you say it's the best thing that ever happened to you?
BOWIE: Well, for one thing, girls are always presuming that I've kept my heterosexual virginity for some reason. So I've had all these girls try to get me over to the other side again: "C'mon, David, it isn't all that bad. I'll show you." Or, better yet, "We'll show you." I always play dumb. On the other hand—I'm sure you want to know about the other hand as well—when I was 14, sex suddenly became all-important to me. It didn't really matter who or what it was with, as long as it was a sexual experience. So it was some very pretty boy in class in some school or other that I took home and neatly fucked on my bed upstairs. And that was it. My first thought was, Well, if I ever get sent to prison, I'll know how to keep happy.

Happy Birthday to the most amazing man to ever...
thebeardstroker:
David Bowie.
A man whose music changed my life forever. Over a decade ago when I first saw that Old Grey Whistle Test performance of Star Man. I have had a very crazy and indescribable obsession with his work. I honestly wouldn’t be who I am today without it.
Happy Birthday Sir

Dearest David,
bowieslut:
Where would I be without you? More importantly, where would the world be? You’re probably used to hearing so much from mouth-breather fans and I’m sure I’m no different but I swear you’ve changed me as a person. I think you would have anyhow even if you were just a painter or an actor or something silly like a door-to-door salesman. Something tells me I would have been changed by...
I'm glad I live in the Labyrinth where the people...
