[edit] Trivia

How bout some trivia? I read somewhere that this was Trent Reznor's favorite Bowie album and perhaps his favorite album over all. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.185.151.122 (talk • contribs).

No prob putting it in if you can substantiate it - just don't recall seeing that anywhere myself. Cheers, Ian Rose 04:47, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

I didn't know about the lyric supposedly pointed at Numan. Fascinating. Did this start a feud at the time or was it too vague a thing for Numan to get up in arms about? I know that Bowie praised Numan's music later in his career and without Bowie had a huge influence on Numan's otherworldly songwriting. Timbrocks 22:51, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

David Buckley quotes Numan as saying he was actually quite chuffed about it, like "Hey, I'm in a Bowie song!" - even if it wasn't complimentary. I'm in the process of updating the Bowie album articles I've largely written to throw in more direct quotes/citations so I might put the whole quote in when I get to this one.
