I`d been a Bowie fan before punk and used to get no end of trouble. I was always getting knocked about and having to run up the street, getting chased by people. It was horrible.
Gary Numan
I didn`t know much about him, and I wasn`t a big country music fan. I listened to the Beatles and David Bowie, so I didn`t know a lot about him.
Joaquin Phoenix
As a songwriter, I was influenced by David Bowie - a great writer. A class above everybody in so many ways. Lennon and McCartney, of course. Class stuff. David Cousins was my favorite lyricist.
