Re: [bomp] Jobriath: did they really exist?
JoBri did exist and was the subject one the greates hype failures since the Boss Town Sound. I still have the first album. It's funny this thread started. I was talking with a friend about Mr. Campbell and it appears that he was in a group called Pidgeon prior to appearing in hair then going solo as Jobriath. A couple of weeks ago after far too many pints we broke out the LP and it really sounds dated. Not really glam, a bit bombastic but well produced. R.I.P. Bruce
Man, the local Strawberries had the joint plasteded with Jobriath posters. Probably had more posters up than albums sold.
