No not a transsexual but someone who has suffered with depression.
I was at boarding school in England when Ant Mania was at its height, though being a proto rockabilly rebel I had no time for music that though interesting lacked ideological purity.
I recently came across Adam Ant’s new album and particularly like the cut Cool Zombie. Hooked I went back and listened to the songs that were a soundtrack to my last years in the UK.
I also came across the documentary, “The Madness of Prince Charming”, despite the overly cute title it is a harrowing account of his depression, breakdowns and hospitalization.
The documentary struck a cord, like soldiers comparing notes on the same battle. I admire his fortitude to carry on.
And Oh Boy was he handsome back in the day!
Looking forward to watching this myself, as one of those who "knows" all too well.
ReplyDeleteI never investigated his albums, but the singles we heard on this side of the pond were stellar, particularly "Goody Two-Shoes." Great song. I should check out those early albums sometime.
And yes, he was gorgeous back then, wasn't he? Oh dear... they must have turned up the heat in here just now...
