Hi Klaus! Big fan here-I've missed you! Remember the nights at Harrah's?

Miss P, are you familiar with Klaus Nomi? I'm thinking he may just have been a local celeb.

Remember Jane, I was once married to a guy who owned a used record store. You would be amazed at some of the records I wound up with!

Ah yes! Klaus was quite the rage here for a while. My friend and Joey Arias sang backup with him. I had a lot of fun at his concerts, back in the day!

For those who don't know the genius that was Klaus Nomi, here he is doing "Total Eclipse."

And his freaky version of Marlene Dietrich's "Falling in Love Again."

Namo-If you're serious, and you know him too, OH.MY. GOD.

Or are you just bringing back names from the past?

No I really don't. Just don't mention his name around any trans activists!

Thanks for those clips, PJ!

Namo, what?

It makes me sad to know that I never got to see him live, but those clips are fab!

That new collection will be interesting.
