Hi kenneth ,
there's a good reading at wiki
"Its meaning has varied, but may include a person who has an inflated sense of their own uniqueness, has an unwarranted sense of entitlement, or is easily offended and unable to deal with opposing opinions."
from:
I always had the feeling that Marvin was bi......it seemed his speak hinted to it, but I have no idea if he was, I just wanted the artist I loved to be happy and, now, at peace.
Yes, it's the blathering about dead people to get attention that crosses Q off my list. Though not really a fan of his over-busy production style I always thought [['thought' being past-tense) of him as a gentleman. No more. If various famous people wanted to keep their sexuality a secret, who is he to out them? STFU, Q. Talk about your productions, not your 'conquests' and tea-quotient. Gay/bi/trans persons still get fired-beaten-snubbed by their families-killed; it's not an issue to gain social-media clicks about.
Most of what he says here about MJ, others have said before... Michel Legrand, Manu Dibango come to my mind.
That the Beatles were mediocre soloist is also debated for a long time.
That Brando was an obsessive Bi is also documented. On french tv, about 10 years ago, he said that he went with Leonard Bernstein and Marvin Gaye. In is mouth, it's not an issue.
I don't consider Q's comments about the lives of dead folks cowardly. I consider his lack of comments about the private lives of the living to be cowardly in light of his loose lips about the dead. So yes, if Q had said "Brando would screw anything: Dorothy Dandridge, Lena Horne, Ruby Dee..." I would side eye it because the ladies aren't here [[nor Brando) to give their account one way or the other, but it would kind of be a "it is what it is" situation. But if Q had said those things and then been asked about the private life of Diana Ross, who is rumored to have had an interesting sex life, and he chose to suddenly have a filter...Punk move.
It seems to me that you might have confused what my problem was with this whole thing. Yes I do believe the dead should be afforded their privacy, though I understand why some people feel the need to recall things. For example, I understand Mary Wilson's revelation regarding Florence Ballard's rape. I probably wouldn't have revealed that information, but I understand why Mary did. The rape explained so much. But it didn't seem to me like Quincy made his revelations to really explain anything. He said what he said for shock value, under the guise of being "honest", but when first asked to be honest about his living friend he decides to deflect. I guess we can wait to hear further details about what Q knew about Cosby after Dr. Bill goes to that pudding pop in the sky. Can't wait [[said sarcastically).
It's particularly unfortunate, especially at this point in the USA's history, to see an accomplished Black man denigrating and gossiping about other Black men, and ones who are dead, no less; falls right into the djt playbook of 'distract the public with trash and repeal their rights while they're not looking'.
What I don't like about Quincy is that he's telling all this business while trying to act like he himself was a hetero playa [[that whole "I have 22 girlfriends now" and "I used to date Ivanka")... he better watch or someone would spill the beans that he try to come on to men himself. It's RUMORED of course but still...
I also find it interesting in the article that he mentioned the mob played a role in the assassination of JFK but then said "I wanna keep it secret". It's like "...HELLO YOU JUST MENTIONED GIANCANA SENT THE HIT!"
Also being mum on Bill Cosby but outing Marvin as bisexual? Mmkay Q lol
Least Patti didn't do that when she confirmed Luther's homosexuality.
Anyone think Quincy might be suffering from some sort of dementia? He didn't look well the last time I saw him.
He might be. Who knows?
Especially for him to claim MJ "stole" when he produced those "stolen songs".
People think he was being honest about that but I don't think so.
On Wednesday, Pryor’s widow Jennifer confirmed the two men had been lovers, telling TMZ that her late husband was always open about his bisexuality with friends and would not be ashamed that the relationship was revealed publicly. She also said the comedy icon wrote about sleeping with men extensively in diaries, which she says she plans to release later this year.
“It was the ’70s! Drugs were still good, especially quaaludes,” Jennifer said. “If you did enough cocaine, you’d f— a radiator and send it flowers in the morning.”
Hate to spill tea, but you might be on to something, midnightman. I went to a Q signing about 10 years ago; he walked in and looked at me like I was a sirloin steak. And I'm a dude. :rolleyes:
Anyhoo... here's a funny take on the Q firestorm:

^ THERE YOU GO! LOL :o
I don't think you can talk like Quincy seems and have real dementia; he's an old fart that doesn't give a shit at this stage - he says what he thinks, knows what he saw and believes and just blabbers.
Have to say, I never thought Marvin was singing to a guy when he wanted to get it on - but surprises happen all the time. Brando was so repulsive though. Jeez, I hope he did better than that.
When you think about it, LGIO could've been interpreted to whatever you may think.
It had a very social message when Marvin sings "there's nothing wrong with me loving you". Could be interpreted either as an interracial love or gay love. I mean the message was very hippie-ish lol
The "Let Love Rule" of the '70s. :)
I'm sure Marvin is shaking his head though haha
"No it was about a special girl, guys". Sure Marv. ;)
Nah but seriously, that song never mentioned "girl" lol
NOW I GET IT!!!!! Marlon Brando, who MJ thought was - ahem - 'tops'- had an affair with MJ, who became preggers and went to Saudi Arabia [[or whatever) to bear his child Prince Michael! It ALL comes [[pardon the pun) together!
Rain Pryor just came for Quincy's butt lmao
Lord, wait until Michael's kids get on Q...
Q...What did Mick Jagger say to Hugh Heffner when he found him in bed with Dennis Weaver...A..."Hey Hey, Hugh Hugh, Get Off McCloud"...
Hugh on top of anything isn’t a great picture to me - but that was pretty funny and I laughed

What went on here?
I must be getting old. When the "Q" quotes came over my phone earlier in the week, I had no interest. I respect Mr. Jones huge contributions to music specifically, and society in general. Though I feel that if you have something to say about someone, say it while they can respond, or can "meet you outside" to "discuss", not while they are deceased.
On the other hand, looking at the thread responses, it is sure interesting getting to know some of my fellow Motownites a little better.
He probably thinks it's "locker room talk"... you know? <_<
I wouldn't trust being alone with Quincy telling my business [[or exaggerating).
He'd better be lucky none of the people he talked about is calling him saying they'd beat his ass up because they're either dead or just want him to shut the hell up. LOL
Seeing all of the interest in this. I will tell Mary to write another book........but go harder this time! LOL!
This is about Quincy, bruh... LOL
Shoot, who DOES like Quincy? He seems like a big douchebag lol
Great producer but a great douchebag too.
Also it's funny in that article he mentioned how great he thinks Ed Sheeran is but claims Michael Jackson stole. What a douche lol
Dude was complicit since he helped produce it!
