Life of Agony's Keith "Mina" Caputo

Wow. Can't say I'm a fan, but I certainly didn't see this one coming...

Quote :

LIFE OF AGONY's Keith Caputo has revealed that he has begun "transitioning" into life as a woman and has begun to refer to himself as "her" on his official web site, KeithCaputo.com. The singer, who has adopted the name "Keith Mina Caputo", wrote on his Twitter account, "Male to female transsexuals like me are the women who give up male privilege for femininity! Threaten the patriarchy!" He also responded to a question from a fan about the demise of LIFE OF AGONY by writing, "LIFE OF AGONY has already gone into isolation and it's got nothing to do with me transitioning [to a woman]."

In a June 5, 2011 interview with "DeadDave's Internet Radio Show" (stream audio below), Caputo stated, "I live a completely, totally different lifestyle. I'm a completely different human being, as you guys probably know. I have a very different path in life. I'm not living life as a man anymore and stuff. So, yeah, my life is completely different, but music will always be… music is definitely my driving force."

Caputo previously used cross-dressing images of himself in the artwork for his 2008 album "A Fondness For Hometown Scars" and dedicated the CD to androgynous people.

In a July 11 tweet, Caputo said, "my cuzins even get on me for being transgender, callin me the dumbest names, but it's all in good fun they'll really kill 4 me." The vocalist also re-tweeted a story from Metal Insider claiming the singer was due to get a sex change. He replied with the message, "Thx for being sweet & respectful..Deeply appreciate it. FYI, I'm keeping my penis!"

Eh, if it makes him happy, who am I to care? Doesn't make a very convincing "chick" though.

Oh my. He's an ugly man and an ugly woman.

Especially if that last sentence in his quote is true.

^^ I know I've seen that clip with the black guy in the boat before. Any idea where (movie/TV show) it's from?

**EDIT** Nevermind, I think I figured it out. That's from "Caddyshack," isn't it? When Rodney's running amuck with his yacht?

Yup. Caddyshack.

Even Mr. Spock is shocked at this development and he's not easily rattled

..."In a jar, on my mantle!"

Me neither. Even when I saw L.O.A. open for Type O Negative way the hell back in '93 or whenever it was, that guy kinda struck me as a little, shall we say, "off."

I heard of the band, but never actually heard their music.

Good Lord,dont tell everyone!

I'm sure Lorena Bobbit would do the surgery for him free of charge.

This is what Cher's "son" Chaz Bono has been waiting for... Better put it on ice.

This really doesn't surprise me. If you've ever met him, he's always been very feminine, even back when Life of Agony was at their heaviest. And that stuff really came out in his solo work—which is fantastic, by the way—and has been becoming even more prominent as of late.
