3 things about Kieran Turner’s JOBRIATH A.D. [2012]

1. Triumphant gig at Tuscaloosa.
2. He wasn't the hustler, Joby was the hustler.
3. Living at the top of the Chelsea Hotel.

I am sorry for your loss.

If I'm not mistaken, #Jobriath died in 1984 (?) The 1980s both in Britain and the USA sound scary as hell.

I don't know how anyone kept it together back then.

Between the 'greed is good' toxic twins (The Iron No-Soceity Fascist and her boyfriend The Shoe Polish hair Dye Fascist from the USA), Section 28, then you have AIDS being an excuse to repress LGBTQIAplus people, etc.

Just seems like a scary era.

Known as the first openly gay rock star, Jobriath's legacy delves deeper than the labels hung upon him. His reign was brief—two years and two albums. Sabotaged by a publicity machine run amok, shunned by the gay community and dismissed by critics, Jobriath was excommunicated from the music business, and became an early casualty of AIDS. Now new generations of fans have discovered him through acts like The Pet Shop Boys, Joe Elliott of Def Leppard, Siouxsie Sioux, and Morrissey, all of whom cite Jobriath as a groundbreaking influence. Through interviews, archival material and animation, experience the heartbreaking, unbelievable story of the one, the only, Jobriath.

Jobriath - The Midnight Special (1973) [Live]

Брюс Уэйн Кэмпбелл (14 декабря 1946 - 3 августа 1983), наиболее известный под сценическим псевдонимом Jobriath, был американским глэм-рок-музыкантом и актером. Он был первым рок-музыкантом, который открыто признал себя геем, при этом подписав контракт с крупным звукозаписывающим лейблом, а также являлся одним из первых всемирно известных музыкантов, умерших от СПИДа. "I'm A Man" lyrics: I'm a man So I'm an elegant man I'm a man Clara bowes and open toes Are what I am Yes I'm a man Yeah I'm a fragile man I'm a man Light of step and soft of touch A gentle man You know I could love you But if I should love you Then I would love you The way a man loves a woman And live my life like been livin' it My body claims my mind and soul so let me be What I am An elegant man Yes I'm a man So I'm a graceful man I'm a man Pierrots and spaceous clothes Are what I am You know I could love you But if I should love you Then I would love you The way a man loves a woman And live my life like been livin' it My body claims my mind and soul so let me be What I am An elegant man Yes I'm a man and I could love you "Rock Of Ages" lyrics: So what if a-wop-bop-a loo-bam boom didn't rhyme Billy Haley and the Comets drove me to the prom in time A Little Richard goes a long long way More than twenty long years to this day Rock of ages roll away, rock away, roll away We were dancin' in the streets and shapin' our lives in school When we were simply thirteen, god saved the Queen in Liverpool A mop top Mersey goes a long, long way More than ten long years to this day Rock of ages roll away, rock away, roll away Three plays for a quarter is ancient history now But the Stones roll away and rock that jukebox till Satisfaction goes a long, long way Much more than five long years to this day Rock of ages roll away, rock away, roll away A Little Richard goes a long, long way More than twenty long years to this day Rock of ages roll away, rock away, roll away
