In the "about $%*&ing time" award goes to the new doco on Klaus Nomi. Nomi Song opened in New York recently and features interviews and rare footage on the legendary sci-fi opera-droid. Of course people are now hip to the appeal - man turns self into art, gender is fluid and talent is everything. I think I was listening to one of those compilations compiled by celebs (in this case Morrissey) and he included his "Death", which refrains this last passage:
Remember meeeeee
Remember meeeeee
A ghostly, sad telling of AID's and how it consumed most of the downtown art scene and Nomi himself. They just don't make my robot dragstars like that anymore....
