    oof. yeah, I forgot that about Bowie. I know in his time they did like to pin every conceivable crime on a bi dude but also in his time the age of consent was more of a suggestion and that’s a problem .

    It was easy to disavow Elvis because I never liked him but I need to be even more critical when it’s somebody I look up to

      Mattix says that when she was nearly 14 years old, she was introduced to Bowie while he was in Los Angeles on his [Ziggy Stardust Tour]) in October 1972. When Bowie’s tour returned to Los Angeles five months later, on the night before Bowie performed at the [Long Beach Arena]in March 1973, Mattix claimed, Bowie’s bodyguard was sent to pick up her and Starr for a sexual encounter. According to Mattix, as she told to *[Thrillist]in 2015, she and Starr met Bowie at the Rainbow Bar before the three went to Bowie’s hotel suite and had sex: “… [Bowie] de-virginized me … That night I lost my virginity and had my first threesome.”

      A lot of celebrity men from these days excuse this shit by saying “everyone was doing it in those days, and those girls wanted it” which is worse
