Nomi showed up in my life at the perfect moment. He arrived during deep cravings for normalcy exposed in the darkness of the strange and unusual. He died when I was just 8, and yet, I do remember the visual of his performance art. I appreciate his sense of self, value of metaphor and desire to do what he wants no matter where he is. He offers an orgy for the senses.
I really could go on and on about him in an essay of relevance, history, success, entertainment and psychology...but I just don't have the time right now. Even though I'm strapped by the events in my life, I felt an urge to share Nomi before he fell into the basket of lost moments. I'm sure I'll catch up with him more later, and this is a gentle reminder for myself and others who appreciate art not to forget.
For a flavor of the abstract, a hint of hard core inspiration, a twist of fate or just to question what you truely stand for in the daily rantings of life...check out more on Klaus. There are so many amazing talents in the universe, so many people that I love to recognize...and yet I feel strongly that there is no one quite like Klaus Nomi. What an original!
