This got me curious and I found this on the wiki
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rock_Against_Racism
where he made an album disavowing racism and fascism, hard pivoting from those comments?
"He said: "I have made my two or three glib, theatrical observations on English society and the only thing I can now counter with is to state that I am NOT a fascist.“By the 1980s, Bowie’s public statements and imagery in his art had shifted towards anti-racism and anti-fascism. In an interview with MTV anchor Mark Goodman in 1983, Bowie aggressively criticised the channel for not providing enough coverage of Black musicians.Bowie described his videos for “China Girl” and “Let’s Dance” as “simple” statements against racism, and his album Tin Machine as taking a more direct stance against fascism and neo-Nazism.”
Those were some shitty takes but it looks like he revoked them. I’m cautious about purity testing as long as their actions speak louder in the correct direction.
It is concerning though, isn’t it. Wouldn’t make me like the guy very much, either.
Anyone got some citation on this? Not that I’m planning to go to Texas but it doesn’t sound too far fetched to be real.
This actually cheered me up and I’ve been having a rough day, thanks :)

“A lie can travel the world while the truth is still trying to put on it’s shoes” or something like that.
