I suspect Peter stuck to his artistic vision too much to be top 40 commercially successful. On the other hand, he was popular enough that he got to actually do what he wanted to do. I'm guessing this is a very rewarding "sweet spot" for an artist to be in.

I'd give every last Peter Murphy song a 10 I'm such a hardcore fan (and hope he's all recovered from that recent heart episode in NYC) but for the fact that, as a young impressionable person under his music-spell, one expected all romantic encounters (when actually young and impressionable) to be just like this song.

You're misinformed. First, Peter Murphy was in Bauhaus, one of the most influential expiremental alternative bands ever, and not big hair. Yes, on occasion they were theatrical and sported some odd hairdos but that was not at all what they were all about, and cannot be defined as one of the stereotypical mindless big hair bands of the '80's. Second, his solo stuff, he's mostly sporting stylish shorter hair and it's alternative rock songwriting, nothing to do with Flock of Seagulls or Poison or any kind of big hair bands of the '80's. If anything, his history is the antithesis of big hair bands— substance and musical exploration within a pop format.

Ok, you now can return to hating this music, documentary over, and I will continue to enjoy it and his spectacular career.

thank you, oh master of the playlist for following up that awful Tom Waits drivel with a singer who can actually sing and carry a tune and work with a beat and make you want to sing along without having to swallow acid before.

The themes are similar, though Mick's singing about wet dreams. The energy level is quite contrasting.

I don't dispute the factoid on the Maxell ad, but it's still hard for me to believe that he ever had that much hair. It only seems fair for him to be as folliclely-challenged as he seems.
Wiki says he was the model in the UK version, not the US version of which we are all thinking. So you are safe - he *is* as follicularly-challenged as you thought. Plus he lives in Turkey. "Peter Murphy was the model for Maxell's UK "Blown Away Guy" ad campaign which ran in the 1980s, with its tagline of "Sentence your cassette to life." Despite the rumor, he's not the younger model in the omnipresent US edition of the campaign."
