He's really aged badly, hasn't he?
And he was so pretty 20 years ago. I was a HUGE fan of his for years, but now that he's been drifting farther and farther into abyss, especially with the extreme slide into middle eastern music, I just can't truck with the new sound he's putting out.
From androgynous art f@g in eyeliner to wannabe sufi and a so-called, "good Muslim" in twenty short years. Kinda sad.
Yes, relatively speaking, Peter Murphy just looks old. The guys in other bands, like the Buzzcocks, just look a chubbier than they they used to.
I love Bauhaus, and I have four CDs by Peter Murphy without Bauhaus, but they're all old. I didn't even know he/they were doing anything new. I'll listen to it on Amazon or something. And I didn't know he had anything to do with being Muslim.
