Pub, the iconic homosexual bar in New Orleans, perfectly situated on the corner of Bourbon Street and Saint Ann. While sipping a gin and tonic, it was the ideal spot to see the rows of television screens playing the movies of the day -- Liza, RuPaul, Boy George, and Right Said Fred's "I'm Too Sexy" (YIKES! ROTFL -- but one night, I saw smth that forever changed me.
There was a dude who looked like smth out of a Baroque space-age video singing opera. It was Claus Nomi, singing "The Cold Song", from Purcell's "King Arthur." I had not ever seen everything like it. I was transfixed, constrained, jealous, joyful, and sad all at one time. I wanted to suit like him. Sing like him. Command attention like him. At that pont of time, I wanted to be HIM. Me, a hunting, fishing, conservative white chap, felt the need to transform and become greater quantity than what I was at that pont of time.
After that night, I read and devoured anything I could about Claus -- and this is in advance of there was the Internet. I would sit in the Tulane Library and look up magazines and newspapers to read as much as I could about gay punk rockers, David Bowie, Lou Reed, Andy Warhol, and all the goings-on of NYC nightlife, absorbing it all and day dreaming about "what it would be like."
