I'll always remember...I mentioned something to the male scalper about saving one of the ticket for himself, and he said "Oh no, I'd never go see Bowie, he's a fag!" Some people deny themselves to witness such creative genius over such petty ugly bias. He rocked that night and I'll always be happy to say I saw him perform live.
