"I started out not liking David Bowie. Or maybe I just didn’t know anything about him, and so I thought I didn’t like him. Whenever I heard him as a kid, I’d like the odd song but it never throttled me. Music is like vegetables: when you’re a kid you hate broccoli, but as you get older you love it. Sometimes your mind just isn’t ready for something. And my mind wasn’t ready for Bowie.
“Anyway, my friend kept telling me I had to listen to Hunky Dory. We’d talked about Bowie a lot, and I’d always said I didn’t like him. And he was like: ‘Well, you’ve never heard Hunky Dory. If you still don’t like him after Hunky Dory, I won’t bother you any more’. So I thought, okay, I’ll give it a chance.
