..... at the boy's Prep School I went to in the early 70s.

Why?

Because if you liked... or even listened to him, you were GAY!

Yep... you heard it here!

Only gays listened to Bowie...and Roxy Music (for some reason... I think because the lead singer was Brian Ferry... Ferry / fairy...get it?)

But I caught up in college. Some great songs!
