ONCE UPON A TIME.....Jobriath

 

JOBRIATH  Jobriath  (Elektra,1973) - Glam rock

     Ziggy Stardust is an invention, a fictional character, Jobriath is the demonstration of how reality is much more prosaic and ruthless than imagination, of how rock 'n' roll and everything that revolves around it often proves to be a deceitful and mocking trap... it is a tale of splendor and misery, that of this talented and forgotten artist, who touched the sky with his finger only to be brutally thrown off without a rock 'n' roll suicide to immortalize him for posterity. Bruce Campbell, the man behind the makeup and extravagant costumes of Jobriath, had three great misfortunes, one consequential to the other: being born on the wrong side of the Atlantic Ocean, not being shrewd and calculating enough to realize it, and getting caught up in the cynicism of the record industry which, given the (very predictable and expected) failure of the marketing operation organized around him, decided to metaphorically throw him into the trash.
