Hey, I like Turbo Lover, sort of like Judas Priest pastiching Billy Idol.
I've seen Squier live (with the great Kenny Aaronson on bass) and though he was first and foremost a gifted musician cranking out his pop rock. There was nothing very male or unmale about him. I think his songwriting went down the drain with the Emotions in Motion album though. And even his career-ruining vid is nowhere as camp as the stuff Hall & Oates regularly did.
When Halford outed himself in the early nineties it was about as much news to me as Liberace saying he likes the company of men. Anybody with eyes, ears and a lyric sheet could have realized even in the seventies, long before Robbie went Village People in his biker outfits, that Herr Halfors is a very gay man, but one that doesn't take himself too seriously.
And I love the Scissors Sisters, have the new album reserved for me at my CD drinking hole, will pick it up at the weekend. "Don"t feel like dancing" was so utterly brilliant and contagiously catchy a tune.
BTW, the vid Halford did in his musically interesting, but ill-fated Two project with Trent Razor pretty much told all about what Rob considers good sex.
