1969! That was the year it all started for me. 1969 was the year I was born. Yes folks officially I am a child of the sixties. Although officially I was only a child of the sixties for three months and a bit after then I became a child of the seventies. I had a great time growing up in the seventies. The world was a different more innocent place back then. I loved it as a child and I love looking back at it now. In 1979, however, a darkness crept into my life. A pallid looking figure appeared on my television set during a broadcast of Top of the Pops and told me that it was cold outside and that paint may possibly be peeling off of the walls. The pallid figure then asked the question that many people would be asking themselves for many a year to come. 'Are "Friends" Electric?'. An interesting question I think you'll agree. After this nothing would be the same again. 30 years later and the pallid one still exists. Making forward looking albums, surviving the music industry against the odds and always somehow managing to make exactly the kind of music that I want to hear. Welcome to the world of Gary Numan.
