How cool to have Gary Numan as your dad

[@dacypher22]

But think of how strange it would be to see an ocean of people pushing, sweating and crying to see your dad perform. Because no matter how cool your dad is, to you he is just dad. Because she gets to see through any kind of mystique to see him as a regular person. But then she goes on stage where he becomes dad, the rock god. That has to be a trip.

[@22Bruinsdude]

Indeed !

[@3martiniplaydate]

I think it would be cooler to have him as a husband. He.s so handsome and smart....his wife is very lucky woman. 🍸🍸🍸

[@NorthernKitty]

I'm betting Gary's response would be, "Nowhere near as cool as having Persia for a daughter". 😊

[@maecarpenter69]

@@CarolH2O Does it need to have a reason? My guess: Father and Daughter are torn apart, and no matter what there is nothing anyone can do to stop the father from finding and looking for his daughter. Both the father and daughter are now evil as a result, or have the capability of being evil and are much stronger together - the music video makes it a little more clear, though not by much

[@dagsterblaster4973]

Too funny. I saw him in Seattle around 1979/80 as a 13 yr old with my older brother. First concert ever. I'd seen him on SNL. Well, over the years I bought some more of his music and one of my daughters told me he was coming to Seattle so I bought 4 tickets. I brought my 26 and 21 yr old daughters, and also my 14 yr old son that had never been to a concert. So, his first concert too...Gary Numan. Now, I'd not seen any videos or anything of Gary Numan in recent times. So, wow was I impressed when I saw the show. Wow, simply blown away. I love all rock, especially Heavy Metal types...so his new style totally fits my flavor for hard agressive rock. Yup, the Neptune Theater in Seattle was full of folks like me that were in their 40-50s, with their kids. A night to remember, and can't wait to see Gary again!

[@frankalfar]

When is the U.S. really going to discover this guy tho? Most people just know him as the Cars guy. I mean really his newest material is EPIC but here it's mostly crickets. Thank God he has all those die hard fans. Got to see his show if he comes to Houston.

[@marcfxxx]

I'm not a dad, but this also brings tears to my eyes. How proud he must be!

Take your Daughter to Work Day

[@luislimon3583]

This performance is absolutely fascinating. We see a scared little girl come on stage and get a big hug from her Rock Legend dad. At :30 seconds, just before they start, Gary gives her a quick grab of encouragement (like a great dad should). Persia is nervous, but at about 2:00 minutes she starts to loosen up. At about the 4-minute mark, Gary looks over at her and you can see his pride. That's the moment Persia's inner rock star shows up. It's like that look he shoots her gives her permission and suddenly show owns the stage. Her stance widens a bit, she's swaying and looking directly at the camera. Then the song ends, Gary can't wait to hug her, pride just beaming off him. And then she gives that little "thank you" squeak and she's a little girl again.

[@MsRedbelly]

It actually made me tear up. Awesome all ‘round & your description nails it.
