My fave Gary Numan story was from a mate who went to see the Nine Inch Nails / Jane’s Addiction “Ninja” tour in Brixton.
Nine Inch Nails were on stage, and this funny-looking guy ambles onto the stage. The crowd thinks “who the hell is that?”. The keyboards start up with the waggawaggawaggawagga from “Cars” and it dawns on 5000 people simultaneously that it’s Gary Numan.
Mate said it was genuinely frightening the way the whole place went nuts.
Saw Trainspotting 2 last night. Underwhelmed- think the critics fondness for Irvine Welsh has made them giddily overgenerous. It’s less of a film and more indulgent nostalgia over the first one. Two very good scenes though but no spoilers.
