I don't think Gary ever approved. Not that he ever said so, I just got the feeling. He did say he knew of my site and that he remembered seeing it when I met him after the Pontiac, Michigan show . Perhaps it was all the dripping blood graphics and this picture.
Scars can be good things.
I have been scarred for life by Gary Numan's music. Gary deals with subject matter like isolation and alienation, the inability to cope with emotions, near-guilt for the lack of any emotion, and simply wanting to be wanted by someone. I went for many years, hiding my secret obsession for Gary Numan's music. Unlike many, though, I revealed in the isolation and alienation. Gary's music helped me relize that isolation doesn't have to be such a negative thing.
