He toured a couple of times with Trent Reznor with Nine Inch Nails. He still rocks that song with them. Check it out online.

Dude’s still making new songs, too.
He’s also been quoted:
“I’m not a socialist. I don’t believe in giving my money away.”

I remember someone interviewing him years ago. They asked him about something regarding the politics of England at the time and his response was: “What should I know? I drove a truck for a living.”

Just wondering...were you reminded of this song due to the recent accident or is this just an odd coincidence? http://www.theguardian.com/music/2018/sep/25/gary-numan-utterly-devastated-as-tour-bus-kills-elderly-pedestrian-in-ohio

I read somewhere that he wrote the song in around ten minutes.

No mention of his time as a stunt pilot.

And how he almost got arrested in India for either spying or smuggling with his plane.
