Stoneking's just so cliché with this that I have to ask if while making this up he didn't unintentionally wrangle some cultural memes.

Do the image tag right... oh, "Skittles." "Tasting the rainbow" because "rainbows" are a bumper sticker indication of gayness?

Well, Pete Townsend seems to have ... uhm... I dunno. But he has also been married to some beautiful women over the years. Roger Daltrey - never! Roger Entwistle was married to the same woman for 40 years before he died - I think. And Keith Moon? I think he died a virgin. Just look at the guy.

They get all the beautiful women .... don't they? Even if they like Skittles.

Do you know the story of the rock opera "Tommy?" Deaf, dumb and blind kid gets messed with and grows up to become a cult leader.

Stoneking's "Tommy" seems to me to be just another rock opera. A work of fiction.

I have heard of it in passing.

... Saying that all long haired hippies struggle with homosexuality is just as absurd as saying all gay preachers struggle with heterosexuality.

Or as asinine as a divorced bishop writing a "spiritual critique" on Michael Jackson and the state of the Church feeling it necessary to say it's not a racial thing because I have black friends.

That would be like a food critic writing a scathing review about Spam, tacos or fried chicken and feeling like a similar disclaimer is necessary.

Sue me.

Okay. But why beat up the guy over a divorce? Does the experience of suffering a divorce forever exclude one from commenting on "the state of the church?"

And, I agree about LS's "hippie" thing. It's just that I think his choice of "Tommy" to be the character for this fiction reveals his own entanglement with cultural icons from the "hippie days." He's making this up and when he reached into his own fertile imagination for some tag to hang on it, he came up with a cliché.
