why?

because it is a terrible video clip.
terrible isn't "detestable". I know it's terrible, I wanted to know why Scott thinks it is "detestible". No biggie, I'm not that bothered.

Than you'll have to wait for him to tell you that, lol.

About the Kevin Ayers video--

a) Kevin Ayers is prog's Jimmy Buffett. Embrace him. He reminds us that there is good wine, sunshine and sand outside of our little vinyl caves.

b) as for those prancing male dudes in the video, that video was done so cheaply it wouldn't surprise me if they were just the first 3 guys they yanked off the street.

c) Caribbean Moon was a 1973 single, circa the Bananamour album.  Not my favorite single by him.

Did someone mention Kit Watkins of Happy The Man ?
 
 
And I know it's not prog, but Mark Free (King Kobra, Signal) changed his first name to Marcy in 1993, due to gender dysphoria.

Do you find it terrible? I laughed a lot when I saw it on TV for the first time in 1976. Actually I didn't know anything of Ayers, or Canterbury. The song is nice and happy and the video is grotesque. Think that it comes from 1973 and the song is so far from Ayers' usual output that after being into the Canterbury genre I started wandering about the video's meaning. 

What do you think is so bad in it?

Don't take me wrong. My question is about the video that was in any case really funny. I don't care of anything else. 
Behind every art there's a person and a mind. Knowing something about the artist helps in better interpreting the meaning of what the artist does. 

You can't understand Senmuth without entering his world of esoteric knowledge and ancient Egypt fascination. Back to Ayers he wanted to appear gay in that video, regardless if he's gay or not I'd like to know what's behind. It might have been just  a director's choice too. 

I'm totally uninterested in any kind of gossip and I'm sorry to have given this impression.

In general I don't care about the sexual identity of the artists I listen to, but I have a curiosity about Kevin Ayers as I remember his video of "Caribbean Moon" that was very gay.
It's not to know if Ayers is gay, it's to understand better the meaning of that video ( a parody, a provocation or just a gay video ?)

Does anybody know?

IN the 80s it was obvious who was gay namely Boy George and Marilyn.... awful...
also Elton John and Freddie Mercury
These days you need to be a mind reader - and who cares anyway? Its music for the masses... and Queen are awesome.
