Brian on Sexuality & Music (CLASSIC ROCK interview)

[QUOTE] [b]noorie wrote:[/b]

What I think Brian is trying to say is that gay musicians still hold massive appeal for girls, women in spite of being gay. I mean look at how many females (including me!) adore Freddie. And the same seems to be the case with Adam Lambert. So probably what Brian means is that there is some mystique about gay singers that attracts both sexes...? [/QUOTE]

Seems to be the case with Adam? Seems?? Hehehe........

Read some youtube comments on one of his videos if you havent already! lol

Perhaps you were trying to think of some more sexually aggressive language to use against me, a mere slip of a girl ...[/QUOTE]

No, because i know you would love it.

Keep digging ... lol

Back to the topic...
Whats interesting with performers is some sence of sexual or gender ambiguity works!
Its prooven with Jagger, Steven Tyler or Alice Cooper who were never thought as homosexuals.
Bowie is the most apparent but he was classed as bi, so he is in a league of his own.

As for music talent or any kind of art talent there are two parametres that are pro-gay.
1) Heavy issues and feelings of gay men and women who find art as a form to express them. A sophisticated answer to repression (Bo Rhap anyone?)
2) Channeling male and female qualities while creating art seems to work better since fine art, many times, is somehow above gender.Its more human-focused.Gay people often challenge gender stereotypes and male/female boxes.

Going to sleep with a smile on my face:)

Freddie didnt make it to the gay musicians list;)

I misquoted Horowitz.... I meant to write Jewish Pianists, Homosexual Pianists, and bad pianists.... sorry. Now I hope it makes sense.

No worries, I found the correct quote after some googling. :)

He seems to have been quite an outspoken gent.

Geez. KINDA shocked to see Doug Pinnick in there. Kinda cause people often wear makeup onstage.

I just googled Chris Xefos from the gay musicians list. It was a random pick. And it led me to this !!! http://saucefaucet.com/FBG.html

Freddie had loads of Gay musician friends, like Cliff Richard, Elton John, Boy George, Peter Straker, etc.......
Freddie was more gay than Bi as he had a lot of Male lovers in the 80s.

By the way pretty stupid of me to say " who are all these great gay musicians?"

I realise some of the contemporary key figures are gay and great like:
1) Michael Stipe [R.E.M.]
2) George Michael
3) K.D. Lalg
4) Rob Halford [Judas Priest]
...all missing from those wiki-lists however.

And of course Elton John who somehow made it to be listed!

I think it's fair to say Freddie wasn't really bi at all, based solely on evidence from Mary Austin 'No Freddie, I think you're gay' and Peter Freestone said that he wasn't in the bedroom with Freddie and Barbara Valentin, but if he did have sex with her, he wouldn't have been able to shut up about it. I assume from that, that Freddie didn't speak about it.

I'm actually annoyed with myself that I watched that programme 'Freddie's Lovers', but it was the folly of youth, I was 23 or 24 when it was on TV first, which is where I watched it, the broadcast on channel 5. Should have known that anything about Freddie on channel 5 would have been rubbish.

There were two other programmes similar - Freddie's Millions, and when Freddie met Kenny Everett. Neither of them were particularly nice programmes to be honest, although Freddie's millions at least avoided sleaze. It was all a total estimate of course, the amount of money his estate is worth, as the makers of the programme were never privy to that information AFAIK

Yes i watched all of those Freddie documentaries, and one funny thing Peter Freestone once said about Freddie is that he liked men who looked as if they could eat a lorry for breakfast, that was Freddies type of guy and he had a crush on sexy Burt Reynolds!
I will say one thing though, Jim Hutton was perfect for Freddie. They looked so in love together, and Freddie was just so happy and beaming. The happiest he had been for many many years.

Yup! Agreed.
