When Bowie and Ronson were on TOTP, I think that for many it just seemed to be the latest indication of civilisation's decline. Funnily enough, when I think about it now, the friend concerned had lost all of his hair due to an anxiety condition. He was having to wrestle his way through each school day because of taunts. Of that he was more than capable but it was troubling for him emotionally. That discussion might have been helpful to him in some ways.
