Page "Divine (performer)" Paragraph 42

Divine has left an influence on a number of musicians, as well.

Antony Hegarty, of the band Antony and the Johnsons, wrote a song about Divine which was included in the group's self-titled debut album, released in 1998.

The song, titled " Divine ," was an ode to the actor, who was one of Antony's lifelong heroes.

His admiration is expressed in the lines: " He was my self-determined guru " and " I turn to think of you / Who walked the way with so much pain / Who holds the mirror up to fools.

" Another such example of Divine's influence on musicians appeared in 2008, when Irish electronic singer Róisín Murphy paid homage to Divine in her music video for her song " Movie Star " by reenacting the attack by Lobstora from his 1970 film Multiple Maniacs and by the appearance of Divine lookalikes.
