A continuation of our discussion about Jobriath's music, this episode features a trio of his songs that other major artists have recorded. Two artists are prominent in this episode, Def Leppard and Kylie Minogue. Joe Elliot from Def Leppard was very connected to 70's glam as a youth and fascinated by Jobriath. While Kylie Minogue has no connection to Jobriath, she does have a connection to the over-arching conversation. Hilarity ensues as we have differing opinions on a certain song, and a tragique duet is discussed
The second half of the episode features a conversation about 2 gifts, one given to me from Jeff, and the other from my mother on her birthday. His is music-oriented while her's is just another of the myriad stories of my connection to the energy of the universe. It's actually an uplifting end to a tragique story.
