What sort of band was Jobriath? Were they any good? I can't find any info on them.

Jobriath was the first openly gay rock star in history. He emerged in the early 70's as a glam rock act. He died alone and forgotten in 1980, I think, of AIDS.

I thought it was 1985. But Morrissey was looking for him in the early 90's to see if he was available as an opening act, so who knows?

Jobriath was a good antidote to Bowie, a sort of Jack Fairy, too genuine to survive; but that is, of course, romantic balderdash! Oh well, sometimes I like romantic balderdash. A friend of mine used to date him in the 70's. He was supposed to be a very nice man.

In my vinyl-hunting travels, I picked up a record from his pre-Jobriath band, Pidgeon. It was from the 60s and was a bit folksy in style (your typical American hippie music that was out, at the time).
