While messing about with that cool 'everyhit' website, I found out that pretty much the ENTIRE British alternative scene was born in May 1959.

5th may 1959 - Ian McCulloch (Bunnyman/Electrafixion)
12th may 1959 - Billy Duffy (Nosebleeds/the Cult)
15th may 1959 - Andrew Eldrith (Sisters/Sisterhood)
22nd may 1959 - Morrissey (Nosebleeds/the Smiths)
28th may 1959 - Steve Strange (Visage + general geniusness)

spooky, eh? kinda reminds me of that 'Village of the Damned' film; a load of prodigies born at the same time.

Maybe sometime in August 1958, an intellectual love god from outer space impregnated all their mums...

It was going swimmingly until the 28th so it would seem :D the runt of the litter perhaps?
