Jobriath - “Take Me I’m Yours”
I am sort of growing obsessed with the parallels between 1970’s manufactured, openly gay glam pop star Jobriath and currently manufactured, openly gay glam pop star Adam Lambert. (Jobriath on Wikipedia, Adam Lambert on Wikipedia.)
It’s all so…”we’ve been down this road before.” And I’m interested to see how it plays out 40 - rather than 4 - years after the Stonewall riots.
I cannot take credit for recognizing this connection - Dave pointed it out to me on Facebook today during a thread where I declared Lambert’s AMA performance to be something akin to Bob Fosse and David Bowie having a kid that liked Britney Spears too much.
Anyway, listen to the song. It rules. And I really, really, really, really would love it if Adam Lambert would cover it. Pretty please, baby?
