Wayne County At The Trucks is one of the turning points in rock music; obviously, Bowie's ‘Diamond Dogs’ tour, which came after "The Trucks" production, paid attention to the scenery, band off to the side, costume changes, etc. The 'street language' and generous use of the word 'fuck' in song lyrics opened the doors for the punk rock to follow, and the next generation of cosmetic punks (Holly of Frankie Goes To Hollywood, Pete Burns of Dead Or Alive, Boy George) all acknowledge Wayne's initial presence as giving them the courage to do their own thing. I know that's where my courage came from when I started The Psychotic Frogs. The studio version of "Man Enough To Be a Woman", which may or may not have been produced by Mick Ronson, is the ultimate statement about Wayne County, a ground breaking transgender rocker, who influenced the high and mighty, like Bowie, and was never given the proper credit. Wayne was thought by many to be the unacknowledged influence for the film "Hedwig & the Angry Inch", which failed in it's attempt to create it's own version of the majestic reality that, these days, is known as the still rocking, more fierce than ever, Jayne County.
