After re-reading this today and having a bit more time I just want to repeat this:
It came from a uniquely Todd Haynes perspective, that being one of queer-based retrospective glam fandom, regardless of country of origin.
Yes. Thank you!
Aside from the fact that, as you say one of the main points of the film was the about legends being more important than truths! How can Bowie say: I also think its location was totally wrong. I think (writer/director Todd Haynes) located it in the early '80s - unwittingly. I presume that's when he grew up. Because for me, I was watching Steve Strange and Boy George and the New Romantics...
That's ridiculous. First, Bowie should know that Todd never does anything 'unwittingly'. It is also an insult to Sandy Powell and Peter King who certainly grew up in the era.
