"War Baby" is my favourte but I don't really know him as an artist. That song is juts so heartfelt and moving! The lyrics really resonate with me in parts:(
'glad to be gay'.... a masterpiece that brought home to me, a straight guy being brought up in homophobic britain, the pain that young gay men were under in the late 70's.

as i understood it, he was more gay when younger, but ironically his straight side took over and he married in the early 80's... maybe wiki would give a better picture then my falible memory!
either way, 'glad to be gay' had all the raw emotion, the heartache gay men had to endure in the 70's when 'gay/queer bashing' was a common sport amongst thugs :mad:

First song to bring him to my attention.
I agree with the quote above - made you a bit aware of things.
War Baby is also a great, great song.
I can recall as if yesterday waking up to 2,4,6 8 Motorway as a teenager.
Great memories here. I am as straight as they come but bought Glad to be Gay as it was a great song. Never been into words of songs that much, so wasnt that bothered:)
