Gary Numan’s New Wave hit single, Cars, was released in August of 1979. I am not exaggerating when I say that experiencing this song changed my life. This comment copied from Youtube sums it up pretty well:
“The first time I heard this, the DJ played it three times consecutively. He couldn’t wrap his head around it. It was the fall of 1979 and I just entered my senior year of high school. New Wave rock is amazing.”
Does the narrator of my coming-of-age novel, Your Silent Face, which is set in the mid 80s, go on about Cars? Hmmmm…
Your Silent Face is now available as a paperback. You can order it at Amazon. Reviews welcomed.
