Who knew?

Barry Manilow explains why he kept his sexuality a secret for decades

"Back in the 70s it would have killed a career," says the 80-year-old. "The public was not ready".

Ha ha.

Apparently Manilow came out in 2017. I missed that.

From way back in 69 or 70 I remember stories of him drinking classes of cum. We weren't sure exactly what that was since almost no one had hit puberty enough yet to make our own. But he was swishy.... though not like Elton John.

And swishy was the word. We didn't know "queer" or "homo" or "faggot". Gay was still just being happy.

@ " . . . would have killed a career."

So, all these years he has been straight for pay? How enterprising.

I remember that as being stories about Rod Stewart.

I remember that as being stories about Rod Stewart.

The same story being told about Marc Almond. In Marc's case it was very believable but not actualy true and there was nothing to support the rumours about Barry or Rodney either. Note, by contrast, that there have never been any rumours about Jimmy Sommerville, because nothing you could make up could ever be as filthy as what actualy did happen.

I spent a nice evening chatting to Marc Almond back in the late 90's and I asked if the Mars Bar story was true and he said no
