| Joe Jackson (Music) | comment |
David Ian "Joe" Jackson (born August 11, 1954) is an English singer and composer originally from Staffordshire in The West Midlands but spent his childhood in Portsmouth, working in London for most of his professional life. He first came to notice in the New Wave era, although like his rough contemporaries Graham Parker and Elvis Costello he came from more of a pub rock than Punk Rock background. Since then he’s made quite a Creator's Oddball, working in Synth-Pop, Jazz, and Classical Music, among other things.NB: This Joe Jackson is not the father of Michael Jackson, nor did he play shoeless for the Chicago Black Sox. His debut album wasn't recorded by Roxette. | |

Plot Twist: In the aforementioned video for "Steppin' Out", it turns out Joe Jackson was pretending to be a composer, leaving his hotel room before the real composer came back, as a parallel to the maid's fantasy. | |

No Bisexuals: The main theme of "Real Men". Joe Jackson was frustrated with having to choose between being straight or gay, and hated labels and gay stereotypes, and the hypocrisy behind it. Jackson himself would only come out as bisexual in 1999. | |

| Joe Jackson (Music) / int_7815ba15 | comment |
N-Word Privileges: Jackson, a bisexual man, openly uses the word "faggot" in the anti-biphobia song "Real Men". In the same line, he discusses this trope's applicability to himself, asking that the listener not refer to him with the slur if they're not already a friend of his. | |
