I remember an interview in Rolling Stone with this guy where he discussed
the problem of having to deal with a rumor of his being bisexual, along
with charges of his ripping off the "Ghostbusters" title song.  All very
peculiar, since he didn't actually quash anything by his statements.  (I
suppose for some people, this would be taking the high road, but given the
general tone of the interview, I tend to doubt it.)  This song is probably
a feeble attempt toward reestablishing his credentials on both counts.
