well, i suppose, if you were a die hard Numan fan, and were deadset on buying that particular Virus, you could buy a back issue of the May 2006 edition of Future Music, which apparently (according to the info in the ad) featured said Virus B.

 

I get the feeling its for real :cool:

But the hair is tres modern!

 

I love Gary Numan -- and respect most of his choices -- flying planes and crashing them not being one of them (let's all leave flying to the pros -- especially for the sake of people on the ground) -- but I wish he had the balls to just be bald (like Howard Jones). For christ's sake ... he has more hair now than on the Pleasure Principle cover 23 years ago.

 

Actually, I think wigs are cool -- think "Amadeus," like the movie -- but only when you can take them off. (Rip Taylor!)

 

Here's some Gary Numan trivia ...

 

You know why he's wearing a hat on the cover of "I, Assassin" (possibly his last "good" album -- at least before his mid- and late-80s disasters)?

 

Because he was about to get his first hair transplant and wanted the public used to seeing him in a hat. Gary's all about his image, you know.

 

This is all, BTW, from his excellent and relatively candid autobiography "Praying to the Aliens."

 

It's kind of hard to get. So if there's a Numan fan here who wants it, I'll send it to you at my cost. Seriously. I like sharing books.
