Unusual in occurrence. You don't hear about gay/bi rock stars very often...not odd, as in a gay/bi can't be in a rock band because it's weird. I'd love it if there were more like them.
Sarcasm? i'm lousy at picking up on sarcasm, am i failing to again?
If anything i think gay and bi people are severely over-represented in rock music? Not over-represented as in there are too many of them, they're brilliant, but as in more than you'd expect from the percentage of gay and bi people in the over-all non-rock-star population?
Even heavy metal has Rob Halford (singer from Judas Priest), and all round METAL GOD! He came out in 1998... probably messed with the heads of at least a couple of macho metal heads. It's kinda funny, Judas Priest's lyrics are very sexy at times but somehow manage to never mention anything gender specific... one of my favourite things about them... sexy doesn't need a gender... there, i can make judas priest fit any topic
... well except one lipstick reference in something written by the guitarist, and a few songs about women written by the singer they had briefly before Halford. I play a game i call "Man / Woman / Motorcycle" where i try to guess whether the song's about a man, woman, or motorcycle (the guitarists were both straight and co-wrote the songs, including some lyrics).
Thoug if you are looking for something like Placebo... Judas Priest certainly ain't it... Rob's not real androgyneous either... though does anyone else think he looks kinda like Buck Angel?
