My Take
Adam Ant is, for me, the perfect embodiment of how new wave fused sound and spectacle. Stuart Goddard, art-school trained, understood that pop in the early eighties was as much about the eye as the ear, and his pirate-dandy look proved it. Ten UK top ten hits and three number ones in just a few years is no fluke; that is a man who knew exactly what audiences wanted before they did. I appreciate artists who treat image as a craft rather than a costume, and he committed totally. He also kept acting along the way, which tells you he saw performance as one continuous art.
