I'm guessing you mean Lemmy/Motorhead- who else eh !

did you see the film on him- he talked about being a young man, with his mate. they had a decorating job for a few weeks working for this bloke.

apparently the man was gay- kept trying it on it with his friend.

the twist - this bloke was called "Mr Brownsword". lemmy was in hysterics recounting the tale and when he remembered his quite apt name. A brilliant film.
