I find myself drawn to the forgotten. Johann Gottfried Bernhard
Bach, Maria Bronte.....

Reading a review of Velvet Goldmine several years back, a name
jumped out of the paragraph that had been completely obscured in my
mind for decades.

Mention was made that the album cover by the fictitious glam rock
star Maxwell Demon resembled very closely that of the very real
Jobriath, who released two brilliant but largely forgotten albums
on Elektra in the early seventies. The myth that has subsequently
grown up around the singer is that he was little more than a Bowie
clone, an ill conceived attempt to Ziggy-fy the American
colonies. Clive Davis has even said that signing Jobriath (real name Bruce Campbell)
was the biggest mistake he ever made while working at Elektra. That said, Jobriath
was hyped as few other artists have been, before or since.

Suffice to say that the hype that preceded Jobriath could have
been fulfilled by no one. The image ultimately (and unfortunately)
overshadowed the music. I find it to be a profoundly sad thing that
music of this quality should be consigned to the dustbins of
history. There is (thanks to mega-fan Morrissey) a compilation
cd available. I'll wager that it's cover will not be
imitated in any future motion picture release.
Yes, it's that bad.
