I have nothing against the living Nomi, who also sang backup for Bowie. It's the dead Nomi I have a problem with. 2397@blogcritics.org Thu, 5 Dec 2002 10:00:41 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2002/12/04/185220.php#comment-2396 There was a guy who used to dance to Klaus Nomi at Cargo in Montreal when they played his tunes at the club. He was very annoying. I also saw Black Flag at the same club, and Greg Ginn shorted out his guitar because it was so hot and his sweat ran over his guitar. But that had nothing to do with Klaus Nomi. 2396@blogcritics.org Thu, 5 Dec 2002 00:21:52 EST
