      The Gay Community Update theme (when the activists went on a bender). Rush was actually a fan of his music and it led to a lot of his listeners buying his albums. He was even thanked by Nomi's Estate.

    Klaus Nomi - You don't own me
    [L Y R I C S]
    You don't know me, I'm not just one of your little toys
    You don't own me, don't say I can't play with other boys
    And don't tell me what to do, don't tell me what to say
    Please when I go out with you, don't put me on display
    Because you don't know me, don't try to shame me in any way
    You don't own me, don't tie me down 'cause I never stay
    And don't tell me what to say, don't tell me what to do
    Just let me be myself, that's all I ask from you
    I'm young and I like to be young
    I'm free and I like to be free
    To live my life the way I want
    To say and do whatever I please
    You don't know me, I'm not just one of your little toys
    You don't own me, don't say I can't play with other boys
    And don't tell me what to do, don't tell me what to say
    Please when I go out with you, don't put me on display

I work with a bunch of late 20's/early 30's guys and played this song as a joke once. They won't stop asking to hear Klaus! One girl threatened me w castration if I ever play him again- especially "Ding Dong the Witch is Dead". The young guys think he was way ahead of his time-the girls think they are nuts. One q: Did his toes actually leave the ground at the end of this tune or what?

    The first time I heard Klaus Nomi, was several years ago on Rush Limbaugh's radio show. I believe while he was still broadcasting locally, in Sacramento, California. Nomi reminds me of an extremely talented opera singer I met through my wife, Lisa Kindred, in 1970/'71, whose name I forget, but was as equally talented. (Old age a'settin' in , I guess.) I just hope he's done better at "Staying Alive" (no pun intended. No, really!) than Nomi.
