The OMYAM Podcast Episode #29: Tales from the Bargain Bin #3: Jobriath.

This episode examines one of the most hyped debut albums in music history.  Jobriath was sold as being the next rock phenomenon to reach the Elvis/Beatles level stratosphere, AND the man who would make rock embrace an out and proud gay superstar.  It was too much to ask of him, but how does the music that the public roundly rejected then hold up now?  I give my opinion, and YouTube is there to help you form yours: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLDWLXjsOJPQlOpjiSL4ecYzDMmr-bTYDc .  It's an episode worthy of a giant billboard in Times Square.
