Damien Hirst.

PS I knew Leee Childers, I tried for years to get him to agree to an interview for Classic Rock. He told me a lot of interesting stories but was reticent about doing so in public.

Leee slept with Sid. But none of this stuff is news. Lots of bisexuality in those "punk" years.

Leee did tell me that Bowie moved to Berlin exclusively to be with Romy Haag, not to get off drugs or whatever nonsense. He also said RCA hit the roof when they found out about it and Bowie had to pretend to break up with Haag while they kept it on the DL. I think Angie has said pretty much the same.

Bowie was just as much a chameleon with his sexuality as he was with his music. Maybe by going to Berlin he was escaping the heavily restrictive laws here in the UK at the time.

By 1977 you would have thought RCA would've known who they were dealing with. Also having Lou on their roster.

Thanks. I'm intrigued... Did Leee say something about Joe? I swear I'm not a Snewer,lol😆 Just curious.
P. S. If I touched on sensitive and unwanted subject I apologize...

I doubt very much that the artist is Damien Hirst as Joe didn't meet him until 1995.

In Queercore Jayne County says Joe had an affair for years with "a famous London artist" much more likely to be Sebastian Conran who Joe shared digs with and did work for The Clash. Jayne also says Joe was very young at the time.

Here's Sebastian in the punk years. And the "Gain Control" poster he designed for the band.

Some of them were just young and experimenting. Then there's the anything goes attitude. I'm sure there were those who thought that being a punk was about being tough and macho and braggadocio. Then there were those who were older like Leee Black Childers whose actions seem very predatory to me. But whatever sexual preferences people have should be fine as long as they are not hurting others.

I mean a lot of these guys are explicit in their lyrics. I guess it depends if they're auto-biographical or not.

Ramones - 53rd and 3rd
The Pogues - The old main drag

Always struck me as funny seeing homophobic punk rockers, and right-wing ones too
