JOBRIATH!

Filed under the "how did this fly under my radar for so long" department, click the pic to find out more about Jobriath Boone, probably the first openly-gay rock star, claiming himself a "true fairy" during his high-profile and expensive mainstream debut on Elektra records in 1973.

Like The Apple before it (another long-dormant nugget that went unnoticed by me, until moroccomole took me to a rare screening of it way back in 2003), I simply can't believe that he hasn't got his own special on Logo already. And come to think of it, he's musically sort of kissing cousins to The Apple, too. Conspiracy, I tell you!
