Yes, but the "was Chris in love with Alex?" aspect had never occured to me before. Truthfully, it was my brother-in-law who commented on the possibility after watching the documentary. As I said, the doc does seem to tip-toe around the subject, possibly in deference to Bell's brother and sister who are two of the more prevalant talking heads on screen.

version sound wrote:It's kind of pointless to speculate about Bell's feelings for Chilton. Unless he confided in his brother, we'll never know. It seems pretty unlikely that was the reason for the split, though, given other larger issues of mental health, drug abuse, and disappointment with the fact that they weren't getting anywhere.

Now you're just being silly. One situation is plausible given the cirumstances and the other is patently ridiculous.

version sound wrote:Are you kidding? There have been rumors about Lennon being gay since the '60s. Is this better: DID HUSKER DU BREAK UP BECAUSE BOB AND GRANT WERE BOTH IN LOVE WITH GREG????!!!! It's just silly rumor mongering based wholly on the fact that Bell was gay and NOTHING ELSE. You guys are pondering about imaginary unrequited love between two dead rock stars and I'm the one being silly? Sure guys, whatever you say.
