"The American Bowie," "The True Fairy of Rock & Roll," "Hype of the Year." 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.

I just discovered Jobriath. He was like David Bowie and Elton John at the same time with a little Marc Bolan mixed in. It is funny how his sound was similar to these British composers and yet the British rockers today cite this guy as an influence. His music is extraordinary at its best and "little Dreamer" is an actual masterpiece. His life was short and he could have made more music.9 years ago

Oh, yes, some movies I really like even if they are just silly but upon a recent re-viewing, I found PARADISE so bad it drove me wild. I used to see Paul Williams on Griffin and am disappointed I cannot appreciate him in a major role, but oh, well. There are several utterly silly, pointless movies I still like anyone but this one, it hasn't grown on me in time. sigh It does happen! xo :)10 years ago

Jobriath was not well known for demonstrating physical affection towards members of the opposite sex, just as Ms Hindley was not well known for exhibiting nurturing behaviour towards children.Related Videos
