Starman




"The most memorable part of that Thursday night was when David Bowie sang the line, "I had to phone someone so I picked on you ooh oh", while at the same time pointing his index finger and rotating it in what I now describe as a "camp manner". 

It was as if Bowie actually singled me out... A chosen one... 

It was an almost religious experience!"


"I grew up in Huddesfield, which is a fairly nondescript place and, in common with most of my mates from school, we had all been big Bowie fans since the famous 1972 Top of the Pops 'Starman' appearance in 1972. 

Incidentally, this ought to be the subject for a book in itself."
