In the 1960s, you just did your thing, with others into your thing and everyone was happy. The songs told the stories of all that was going on for those who payed attention. Coming out was really dangerous. Keeping your balls intact was a real concern. Sorta like right now.

Courageous I guess I hadn’t even realised that he was. But then in the great scheme of things it’s not important. The music on the other hand was brilliant.

The singing moose himself!

?? Have to look up this Garfunkel guy.....

There was a lot of that around. It just wasn't a big deal.

lol that’s so funny in all my years he’s the only one that I didn’t even know that was bi. Never heard that. Definitely Lou Reed was out and about living it large.

Men are so weak, I’m surprised they can leave the house.

He didn’t come out in the 60s…

Dude had an incredible voice. Slide right up and past the break, smooth as on ice.

🤔never knew that.

Janis Joplin

To be fair, if I had to flag an NPC to a TTRPG party as a helpful but chaotic bisexual, "Arthur Garfunkel" would be an obvious choice.

Mick Jagger maybe wasn’t all the way out but he wasn’t all the way in the closet either

Or 80s-90s Metal icon Rob Halford. Although it was hard to stay in the closet after writing lyrics like "spread eagled to the wall—takin' it to the max!"

I'd like to call myself an angel singer but if I'm honest, I'm more Dirty Devil Rock 😂

yeah it sounds like a verse of S+G’s “blessed”

I only go for Mole-Men, so having it written as Underground Man-Lover instead of Underground-Man Lover is a sticking point for me when making a choice.

....I must apologize, my brain has been bad at braining this morning and I read that as "angel slayer" instead of "singer". I'm gonna go hide under a rock now.

lowkey i kinda want to set this whole sentence to music, i think it'd kinda slay at the top of a second verse

I did not know that.

He’s not my client so I can’t really say. I, too, have thought that, though! I have ADHD, I recognize the behavior, but this carries across all domestic duties, unless she asks, and explains. So, there’s that part. I have difficulty with housework, but my husband doesn’t have to ask me to do it.

Also, definitely like will go down in history as the absolute worst, most self-absorbed, and soulless generation to ever exist

Is it time to revisit the Moustache..

Was that important?

Bravo to Art.

it's just funny stuart, it's not that deep

Why would you take time out of your day to make a comment if you didn’t care? Always so weird when people do that.

LOL!! 🎯🎯🎯

Leslie Gore.

Not bi.

Also he was in Roeg's Bad Timing 🔥

I never knew that, but you got to admit Paul Simon was pretty cute in those days.

I think Pete Townshend hinted at it in his memoir, but it may have just been a laser-focused attraction for Jagger.

Does Iggy Pop count? Or is that too 70s?

Mitch Ryder had something to say about this as well.

Oh good lord. I remember that🙄 I'm old😬

I remember an interview with Rod Stewart where he says everyone knew he was gay. But of course he had girlfriends too.

You understand what bisexual means, right? And as far as I know (for whatever value that is) Garfunkel didn’t come out ever, officially. He implied attraction to men in his biography that he published around 2017ish. Which still wasn’t the 60s

There was no way to know!

Dave Davies. Mick? Bowie?

True

The boomers really only cared about low commitment sex before marriage.

Long John Baldry Rod Stewart?

And a lot of child molestation, the number of rock and roll dudes in their 20s and 30s kidnapping 13 year olds or frequently dating 15 year olds publicly in the 1970s makes me feel physically ill.

That’s pretty much what it comes down to if you actually study the period 🤣

Hippy circles had their own issues, since they were all into the "free love" thing, which often turned out to be a way to pressure girls into sex. They'd torn down the old rules, but didn't really have a good moral structure to replace them yet.

I mean, you cannot convince me with a straight face that Timothy Leary would not be under indictment for sex crimes in the modern era

This is correct, and you can tell because this virtue signaling didn't hold when the trend left the mainstream. Their modern-day equivalent can be found in the kink/psychedelic scene today, which is choke-full of predators presenting as wholesome spirituals.

Lou Reed

David Bowie and Mick Jagger would have sex with anyone (and probably anything) that had a hole in it.

I missed that. Everybody was gay or bi. could have been the 70's.

Sure. I can agree to that.

Didn’t know that

Jury’s out on whether or not we the Bi coalition claim Jagger. I personally don’t care for the cut of that guy’s jib

Oops.. Mr. Lou Reed.

Yes..Janis loved women.

Gosh, not like I knew he was good, but sometimes I have worries about artists I listen to. Nice to see a fellow bisexual and also this text

Truth. I forgot about that

Almost as beautiful as his hair.

Oh! That would be so gorgeous! I’m sure everyone cried 💞

I will gladly blast "Skywriter" on my Bose system in my living room.

David Bowie did, as well. Not sure if he came out in the 60's or later, though...

I didn't know that was his middle name 🤔
