Party Monster Fears Boyfriends Too
Text by Jonty Skrufff (Skrufff.com)
Michael Alig is both ‘obsessed with his grand reentry into New York
nightlife’ and afraid he’ll never find a boyfriend when he gets out of jail,
the New Yorker reporteed this week, after the club kid killer revealed he’s
become incontinent in jail.
The infamous former New York promoter spoke to the magazine at the Elmira
Correctional Facility where’s he’s ten years into a 10-20 year term for
slaughtering and dismembering Angel Menendez though received little sympathy
from local portal Queerty
“If we were Alig, we'd be more worried that people would fear getting
murdered,” the New York site scoffed, “(and being) hacked into pieces and
thrown into the Hudson River”.
Alig’s ex-boyfriend DJ Keoki, disagreed, however, telling Skrufff ‘I don’t
think Michael will have a problem finding someone to be with, he has plenty
of admirers and detractors who can’t wait to meet him.’
Keoki dated Alig for 9 years in the 80s and early 90s, splitting up 3 years
before Alig killed Angel Melendez though continues to correspond by letter,
he said.
“I have never been afraid of Michael and do not fear him now; ironically
Michael is responsible for installing some powerful early seeds of
fearlessness in me,” said Keoki.
“He is, and will probably always be the most incredible person I’ve ever
met. He has also done the most horrific things I’ve ever seen or imagined,”
he added.
Alig also told the New Yorker magazine he hopes to one day emulate the
success of clean-living ex club kids Ru Paul and Larry Tee, saying ‘you can
be edgy without being self-destructive’ prompting an illuminating response
from Larry.
“Can Michael still make New York City spin? I can’t rule anything out
because not so long ago I was a total druggie burnout has-been in New York
City, especially when I was in Recovery early on,” Larry told Skrufff.
“I totally battled with the idea that I couldn’t be the wildman of New York
nightlife if I led a drug-free life, but in fact I find that I have more fun
clean and the same might be true for Michael. And ‘edgy’ is the new
mainstream anyway, innit?” he laughed.
“I don’t think drugs make a person less edgy or more edgy, just like I don’t
think drugs make a person more of a murderer or less of one,” Keoki agreed.
“It is my belief that you either have it in you or you don't and I never
worry about losing my edge for that reason. But having said that, when it
comes to planning and accomplishing a mission like writing, recording and
releasing an album or even killing a person and disposing of them, drugs can
and most often do, wreak havoc on your plans. They destroy your enthusiasm
and ultimately ruin your mission. Though of course I can only speak from
experience in the former,” he added.
