1973: Transsex in Glam Rock

"Transsex" Tuesday, April 24, 1973 — Leader-Herald, Gloversville-Johnstown, N.Y.

Gabriel used to appear in a fox mask and a red dress, which evolved from the “Foxtrot” LP.

This brings up the subject of glam rock in England and its bisexuality. “That was just an example of transsex, fox to woman in that case. It could be taken for any transaction. “But we’re more into bestiality. We’ll work through the perversions slowly. We’re able to keep our crimes in the closet.”

Collins says, “David Bowie’s rebirth came when he admitted to being bisexual Glam rock implies the bisexual bit. But I think there is less of it in England than here. Maybe people think more of the music in England.
