Jobriath I'maman

I played this for a friend and practically fell over: "I can't breathe!" A unique, amazing, thrilling talent. We're both in love with Jobriath.

now you know where klaus naomi came from, huh? see kids....it all happened before...retro began in the 80's.

Yes, Beef from Phantom of the Paradise has a very similar look and sound. And of course Brian Slade from Velvet Goldmine appears to have a very similar look and sound to Jobriath.

Problem is, who came first? Beef or Jobriath? I think Jobriath predates Beef by a few months.

He's a man huh? Glad he told us cause I wasn't quite sure! LOL

he's an ELEGANT man.

"Beef" from Phantom of the Paradise is also based on him?

Yes they sure did...yet Todd Haynes denies any association with VG and Jobriath....pfft.

really wasn't expecting the costume change...
like a vulcan strip tease!

During his 15 min of fame, he was one of those guys you'd love one min and then hate the next. It was only later on that I understood what he was going through at the time

America's answer to David Bowie. (Didn't know anybody asked the question.)

Morissey idolises him apparently. Personally I think it's just a means to irritate Bowie with whom he has a long running, 'disagreement' shall we say.
