David Bowie is in fact bisexual. Which is totally awesome because, well, he can be. Iman is awesome though. HOT! Doesn't change the fact that this song is awesome!

i just love it when he sings "hot tramp, i love you so!!!"

David Bowie, back in the Ziggy Stardust days, I would say was bi-curious but not gay or even bi-sexual. In one interview/talk show when asked if he use to be gay Bowie said he was "terribly promiscuous and lets leave it at that." (Don't quote me exactly but it was almost just that.) The talk-show host also asked if he ever had relationships with these people and Bowie said, "not if I could help it!". So I'm pretty sure Bowie just liked to have sex and he enjoyed it with both boys and girls. He probably said he was gay in order to further shock society. The idea of him being gay back in the Ziggy days also added to the glam image. Who knows why he said it? He did have a wife when has in his 20's and they had a child together, but that marriage fell apart pretty fast I believe. Now David Bowie has super model wife Iman and a daughter. They've been married for nearly 15 years now? I'm not sure but I know it's been awhile. How old is daughter is I have no idea. It would seem as though Bowie's crazy bisexaul sex days are over, though. But back in the day he was young, sexy, and famous, why wouldn't he experiment? :D

The Mick Jagger/David Bowie in bed together, well is atruth, but only to the fact that they were both smoking opium and passed out on Jaggers huge bed, and having Keith Richards wife Anita walk in on them passed out there on the bed. Anita had it out for Mick at the time and started telling everyone he she found both of them in bed "together". Hence the rumor.... Awesome song, always took the song to be about young sexuality confusion and cross dressing. It never does mention in the song if the person sung about IS a boy or a girl. And with Bowie being in his "bi-sexual" stage at the time it could be referenced to either one IMHO.

I love this song. I really don't care about his sexuality. unless his songs mentions hints of his sexuality. I believe he once claimed to be bisexual, and indeed go with men. But who the fuck cares? His music is lovely, and I don't believe in genderizing. So....FUCKIN TURN THAT MUSIC UP.....

I know that Bowie was bi-sexual but I don't really care, he could of been having sex with a tree and I'd still love his songs and him..

"Closet Heterosexual"

That's so funny.

This overly-masculine society needs more men like Bowie. In a Capitalist/Greedy/Competitive/Powerful country like America Masculinity inevitablyu becomes the ideal, but if you give it any thought at all You'll see that all our love of competition and all our greed gets us is Wars and heartache

We need more men who have the balls to wear a dress! God Bless David Bowie!

I also assumed this was about Julia from 1984, although of course interpreting it differently is totally cool. It just reminded me of her, with references to dressing like a boy, and having messed up make-up which I believe is mentioned in one of the scenes in the book where Winston and Julia are in their secret room above the antique shop or whatever. :) David Bowie is amazing either way!

About a boy who loves a tomboyish girl with a short "boyish" hairdo and a love of loud music and getting into fights. The "torn dress" and "messy face" can refer to having been in fights, or to "punk" clothing and an excess of cosmetics. BTW Bowie admits to having swung both ways and experimented with male partners in the past, but he has since given up the One-Eyed Superhero to be model Iman's romantic hero

It would be awkwardly hilarious to see David Bowie have sex with a turtle or a tree... I mean, like you all said, he'd still be a genius, but that would be just great
