re: #63 Charmingly Persistent

I never heard of Jobraith before today! But I was a young teenager when David Bowie was being fabulous so I think I’m a few years behind you. Anyway it wasn’t being gay so much - we all knew about Rocky Horror Picture Show, and I think Elton John was out, or at least rumored about(?) It was the whole package.

Fun fact: Jobriath’s real name was Bruce Campbell.

And Jobriath was not exactly ‘before’ Bowie. DB had released three albums (including Ziggy Stardust in 1972) prior to Jobriath’s album coming out in 1973.
