It turns out that alleged Spokane MLK Jr. Day parade backpack bomber Kevin Harpham is not only a racist, a neo-Nazi and a crappy bomb maker, he also fancies himself a bit of a music critic:

I just found out Rob Halford is gay, this is terrible news. I don’t know if I will be able to listen to Judas Priest the way I used to. 🙁

Quick, Grant… sign him up for Line Out!

  4. I had a conservative acquaintance in college who was probably The Who’s biggest fan. I’ll never forget the day he found out that Pete Townsend was gay.

  5. Pete Townshend isn’t gay. He said he experimented some in the 60’s, but he has stated on more than one occasion that he is straight (so he might be bisexual or heteroflexible at the most, but probably not gay.)

  6. I was a huge Priest fan in high school and my mom hated, HATED their songs for what she thought was misogyny.

    Years later, it was fun to point out to her that Rob wasn’t singing about the ladies in “Eat me alive”.

  7. @5: Well, the headlines of the day said he was gay. Whether or not that was true, watching this guy trying to process his conflicting impulses was unforgettable.

  8. Most of us figured out that Halford was gay as soon as we found out what a leather daddy was and how they dressed. How could this neo-nazi have missed the obvious connection?

    Oh, right. Never mind.

  9. In other breaking news, Keith Richards has experimented with drugs, and Paul McCartney used to be in another band before Wings. Also, Madonna: not a virgin.

  11. When Rob Halford outed himself metal fans around the world (including myself) were shocked … for about five minutes. The clues had been pretty obvious for twenty years. Furthermore, nobody wound up giving a shit anyway. It does bring a new meaning to the song “Ram it Down”.
