That would explain why all the other punk & new-wave fans had such a visceral hate-on for all things Numan. I once DJ'd a party for artsy types and made the mistake of playing Are Friends Electric. Nearly incited a full-blown riot and effectively quashed my dream of becoming a major club DJ. I was frog-marched out the door and my only gigs after that were at roadhouses that paid $40/night and towards whom a certain Bob Seger song, followed by a certain Don Maclean song, EVERY DAMN NIGHT, was a contractual obligation.
