Your Name
: Joey Lindstrom
Your
Age : 29
How
old were you when you became a fan ? : I guess that would
have to be "12" - just returned to Calgary from the UK in
1979 as "Cars" was rocketing up the charts.
Where
were you when you first heard Gary's music ? : God, I can't
remember. It was such a huge hit here in Canada, though,
that you literally couldn't avoid it - all the radio stations
played it to death.
Have
you ever tried to look like Gary ? : No
What
is your favourite Numan album : Telekon
What
is your favourite Numan song : Tie between "My Breathing"
(Strange Charm) and "I Wonder" (Machine Soul). If you must
choose between 'em, go with "My Breathing".
Apart
from Numan what is your favourite group/artist : Enya (by

What

friends that I'm not obsessed. :-)
How
many other Numan fans do you know (offline) ? : Just two

others driving my taxi (and playing Numan on the CD player).
What

(SAIT).
What

What
is your favourite TV Program ? : Tough decision, there's
some good ones. I'll go with "Frasier".
How
did you feel the first time you heard Gary's music ? : I
despised "Cars". Also, his image was rather androgynous
at the time and since I and my friends were just entering
puberty (and thus our own sexual confusion), this made Gary
"The Enemy". This, of course, changed later... heh!
If
you could change one thing in the world. what would it be
? : I would have allowed Preston Manning and the Reform
Party win the last federal election here in Canada. Instead,
the f**king Liberal Party is in charge and we're bleeding

- nearing 30 million)
How
many times have you seen Gary live ? : Just once (but will
see him 7 or 8 times on the Exile Tour)
Do
you have a Gary Numan related tattoo ? : No
Does
Garys disregard for fans thoughts on God offend you ? :
No. Gary has made it plain in the past that he is a musician
who writes what he feels. His fans have made it plain to
HIM in the past that they are fans through thick and thin,
and that it is this honesty that in fact attracts them.
Personally, I believe in God and think that Gary has missed
out on what God really is - but Gary must find God himself,
or else he won't have really found him. I look at his current
"God Must Be Dead" phase as a growth thing... the fact that
he's asking these questions at all means he's looking for
answers. It's my hope that he will, one day, find them.
How
can we get the word out about Gary ? : I really, really
wish I knew. One way would be to do what the Trekkers did
- attract attention to THEMSELVES in order to attract attention
to Star Trek. Getting the media to run stories on our obsession,
however, is a tall order.
