Plastic Jesus (novella)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Plastic Jesus is a novella by Poppy Z. Brite, published by Subterranean Press in 2000. The story concerns Seth Grealy and Peyton Masters, frontmen of the rock and roll band The Kydds. Seth and Peyton fall deeply in love, and publicly come out after the Stonewall riots, at the cost of controversy and risk to the Kydds' popularity.
The story closely parallels the career of The Beatles, with not only Seth and Peyton standing in for John Lennon and Paul McCartney , but dozens of other Beatles-analogous characters and events. (It should be noted that, though all four Beatles eventually got married and had children, that is not in itself an indication of heterosexuality.)
