Her er det Echo &amp; the Bunnymen&#8217;s Ian McCulloch, der for nogle \u00e5r siden gav denne version p\u00e5 The Quietus&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>&#8211; I\u2019d heard \u2018Starman\u2019 on the radio before going to school, and as most lads are, I was interested in football and outer space. Something about his voice and the opening line, just that thing he\u2019d tapped into, and it was me he was suggesting to look out the window. It\u2019s hard to comprehend the impact he had when he came out. I turned 13 in the May of \u201972 and it was such a special time and gave my life magical class. I grew up in Norris Green, skint, and what he did was give the gift of inspiration. He changed the world in loads of ways and was probably the last great special person to do that. It was head and shoulders above anything else. To come out looking like that he could have had the biggest backlash. If you ever want to see star quality watch that\u00a0Top Of The Pops\u00a0clip, which is what gave me the idea that you need stage presence \u2013 you don\u2019t just need it on stage, you need it in life. I missed those years of myself, in how na\u00efve I was, and how un-laddy I was. I was into footy and stuff, but through the Bunnymen I found my own confidence. I was thinking of getting some bangles \u2013 thank God I didn\u2019t. The thing about Bowie is that no-one else could have pulled it off. He was hardly ever on telly, and he never went on and mimed. It was just everything about it. People who missed it must\u2019ve<\/em> <em>been stupid. I remember after\u00a0Top Of The Pops\u00a0going to school and asked my mates if they\u2019d seen it and they said, \u201cyeah \u2013 the fucking queer.\u201d I didn\u2019t even see that. I didn\u2019t see it as a sexual thing, I wouldn\u2019t have minded if I had done. It made some sense because I was probably more androgynous than him through my teenage years \u2013 girls would ask me if I was a boy or a girl.\u00a0I\u2019d always tell them they could put their hands down me kecks and find out. When Bowie shaved his eyebrows off I knew something was up. That\u2019s how you can pinpoint when Ziggy ends. His hair started to change and that\u2019s when he stopped being so from-outer-space. I\u2019m very exact on it, because it almost broke my heart. Without Bowie, obviously I\u2019d have been centre-forward for Liverpool.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8211; <em>It wouldn\u2019t have been a bad career playing for Liverpool. I was a goal-hanging bastard. Fantastic shot, but I didn\u2019t particularly like going into the 50-50s, the life-threateners. And my eyesight went to shite when I was 13.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">   <\/p>\n<div class=\"fcbkbttn_buttons_block\" id=\"fcbkbttn_middle\"><div class=\"fcbkbttn_like \"><fb:like href=\"http:\/\/www.jensunmack.dk\/wordpress-3\/manstar\/\" action=\"like\" colorscheme=\"dark\" layout=\"standard\"  width=\"225px\" size=\"small\"><\/fb:like><\/div><div class=\"fb-share-button  \" data-href=\"http:\/\/www.jensunmack.dk\/wordpress-3\/manstar\/\" data-type=\"button_count\" data-size=\"small\"><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I g\u00e5r for 48 \u00e5r siden gik David Bowie med sit band p\u00e5 Top of the Pops og fremf\u00f8rte &#8216;Starman&#8217; fra da netop udsendteThe Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars.
