12956078, Yeah I thought it was in poor taste

Since it was specifically brought up to catch steam with all the Bowie articles since his death; its not as if Jimmy Page was in the title of the two or three articles I saw that covered it in the last 3 days.

Its tough call; apparently it was a threesome with his wife and at the time considering the drugs/environment was probably 'acceptable'.

However, just because Jim Crow was legal doesn't mean people doing it weren't assholes, lol.

I do think painting him as a mean spirited sexual predator is wrong; considering he had no problem admitting his fuckups after the fact (He was sprouting some fascist/borderline anti-semetic shit going 'full retard' with one of his personas that he disavowed later). Dude was still in his early 20's and obviously grew.

It's going to be interesting as we grow older and more things like these happen because of the internet and how things don't die.
