David Bowie: singer\’s pale appearance reignites health fears

To be honest he looks pretty good for a 65 year old south Londoner. You\’ll certainly see worse wandering the streets.

This is the Thin White Duke. He’s not supposed to have a tan.

He’s an Englishman, of course he is pale

He looks healthier than he did around the time of the Low album.

My feelings exactly. Looking damn fine. At times, he used to look like sh*t.

He is probably watching the Savile coverage and is scared sh!tless.

Lori Maddox was part of the wild Hollywood teenage groupie scene in the early 1970s. She reportedly lost her virginity at age 13 to David Bowie and Angie Bowie.

Still, let’s see how Jimmy Page is looking:

According to Lori, after Jimmy tried and failed several times to get together with her, Jimmy had Led Zeppelin’s tour manager “kidnap” Lori and bring her back to the Continental Hyatt, the hotel where Led Zeppelin was staying. Lori was brought to Jimmy’s room, where as she described in the Led Zeppelin book “Hammer Of The Gods”: “It was dimly lit by candles…and Jimmy was just sitting there in a corner, wearing this hat slouched over his eyes and holding a cane. It was really mysterious and weird…He looked just like a gangster. It was magnificent.”

That night, Jimmy and Lori began a torrid affair, but they had to keep their relationship a secret from the public since Lori was underage and Jimmy was at risk of being arrested.

More than a little pale too one suspects.

Apart from picking up the odd takeaway meal he hasn’t ventured outside since 2006, and you wonder why the lad’s pale.

“The reclusive singer has been pictured in New York on a rare public outing dressed in grey cap and hooded top, bearing little resemblance to the fashion icon of the 1970s.”

65 year old man no longer looks 25 shocker.

Yay, let’s equate consensual relationships between young women and young ‘bad boy’ types who were massively fancied and sought out, with abuse by old men in positions of institutional authority. Because that’s relevant. You stupid fucking twat.

Does look like Lori Maddox exactly ‘sought out’ Jimmy Page though does it?

John B – I guess you think Roman Polanksi drugging and then buggering a 13 year old was fine and dandy too?

So we have a Bowie fan it seems. Since when is a twelve-year old a young woman John? Do tell. When does a girl become a young woman? Old enough to bleed etc etc?

What makes you think that Savile was not massively fancied? The only even mildly credible allegations involve underage girls on the border of legality who seem to have fancied someone in the music business. Just as with Mr Bowie. What position of institutional authority was Savile in John?
