3. Klaus, of course
Taken from us when he was about to become a superstar - and boy could he *sing*.

13. Klaus Nomi died before I was born
I "discovered" him whilst watching the Venture Brothers, an adult cartoon showing cartoon heroes all grown up and jaded, David Bowie, Iggy Pop and Klaus Nomi were on a super team (it is outlandishly fabulous .) I am a big Fan of Bowie and Mr. Pop , and decided that I needed to know who Klauss was. Then I came across a youtube video of Klaus singing back up for Bowie and I thought man who is that guy who is upstaging Bowie! I thought he was the worlds biggest and most superb Ham!

Must see---> http://vodpod.com/watch/910178-david-bowie-and-klaus-nomi-the-man-who-sold-the-world

15. Pick up a copy of The Nomi Song (documentary)
It's tragic, but a great story. I saw his performance with Bowie when it aired, and I was blown away.

7. Klaus. Lady Ga Ga looks...so regular, like she's going to bring in something civilized like tea or
a tray of martinis.

12. She's awesome.
Check her out.

Poppy dance music, yes. But I enjoy that. I think her CD is really good.
But she's a very good performer. Plays instruments as well. Very vocal and opinionated advocate. Huge gay following. I think she's really cool.
