I think there is a misunderstanding between us with illustrious results!
There are two Turners in WA (first line up):
- Martin Turner (bassist and most lead vocals, very early on: moustache)
- Ted Turner (2nd lead guitarist and occasional lead vocals, front guy in pic).
They are not related to another, brothers or anything (even though back then a lot of people thought so). Ted Turner (the WA guy) is the pretty guy singing Jailbait in the above vid (not that Martin Turner isn't handsome in a more rogue-ish way).
Ted Turner left WA under mysterious circumstances in 1974 and was replaced by Laurie Wisefield (ex-Home and Al Stewart). (I hasten to add that there are no credible reports that he grew a moustache or founded CNN or married a North Vietnam supporter/aerobic teacher later on in his life!) Ted returned in the late 80ies/early 90ies for a second stint with WA, Wisefield went on to play with people like Tina Turner, Joe Cocker and Roger Chapman before making a steady living mainly aping Brian May in the house band for the Queen Musical "We Will Rock You!"in London (a train wreck of a musical if I have ever seen one) which ran endlessly but died of natural causes a few years ago (thankfully so).
From what I can tell from seeing him in person and having read from Martin Turner in his biography, he is way too infatuated with women to be gay.
Now where does that leave us other than in the Ric forum?
