Morrissey on Bowie: "fanatically homosexual" in today's 'Times'

There's a delicious double page cover spread on David Bowie and the 'StationToStation' Redux in todays 'Times' Playlist suppplement. As well as a Cameron Crowe piece wriiten for the liner notes, there are several commendations from famous fans, among them Morrissey ~

" Morrissey on Bowie’s elegant femininity:
When he launched himself on 'Top of the Pops' and 'Lift Off with Ayshea' singing Starman, there was no doubt that this was fanatically homosexual; it was a darker force and it was in Bowie’s eyes, his mouth, his voice, and it was menace and he really didn’t care at all about dislodging people. Bowie had an elegant femininity about him, which suddenly made Bolan seem too short to sit at the table. And that, I’m afraid, was that."

That quote is certainly new to me.

Weller also contributes, emphasising that young Paul was always a right lad, not a poof, but he still liked Bowie The others are Annie Lennox and Tracey Emin.

Apparently, there's additional stuff on-line, but I'm not a Times online subscriber, so I don't know if there's any further Moz-ness.
