The 7 Most Gruesome Rock 'N' Roll Legends (And Whether They"re True)
By Mike Swaim
Mick Jagger's Goes to Mars
The legend:
Mick "the rooster" Jagger was caught during a drug bust eating a Mars Bar from between the legs of Marianne Faithfull, as well as nude in bed with effeminate rocker David Bowie. And, he was caught by Bowie's wife, no less.
Why it grosses us out:
Now picture that, but without any clothes on. Yeah. That' why.
Why we still hope it's true:
We like our rockers like we like our parents: androgynous and sex-crazed. Jagger eating a candy bar out of someone's cooch is alright, but ultimately just another entry in the pantheon of "rockers have so much sex they get bored with it and do crazy shit" stories. Add in some Bowie-humping, though, and you've got rock-legend magic.
The only thing that could make it better would be if Prince had filmed the whole thing and the tape leaked to the Internet, revealing Bowie in full makeup and demanding to be called "Major Tom." We can dream, can't we?
Yeah, but is it:
In a happy twist of fate for lovers of bizarre celebrity behavior, the Mars Bar bit is a definite no, but the Bowie-banging may actually have some truth to it. Police did bust in on Jagger and Faithfull looking for drugs, but reported no sexual activity other than the fact that Faithfull was naked except for a large blanket. By rock standards, she might as well have been in a burka.
As for the latter incident, Bowie's wife detailed it on an episode of Joan Rivers' radio show, but later claimed that the men weren't having sex, just nude in bed, which, you know, is totally normal.
