John Sex
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
John Sex was a cabaret singer and performance artist in New York from the late 1970s until his death from AIDS in 1989. Born on April 8th, 1956, his name at birth was John MacLaughlin, but singer Joey Arias gave him the last name of Sex because of an activity John enjoyed very, very much. He attended the School of Visual Arts in New York City. He performed at such legendary New York clubs as Club 57, the Pyramid Club, Danceteria, The Palladium, Paradise Garage and Andy Warhol's Underground. His last public performance was at the club Mars in New York in 1989. He made music videos for his songs "Rock Your Body" and "Hustle with the Muscle." Mr. Sex's trademark was his long, blonde hair which stood straight up. He also dressed in flamboyant costumes. He owned a python named Delilah that was often included in his cabaret act, and was a friend of artist Andy Warhol.
