Sylvian - a rare type of person?
Posted: Fri Dec 11, 2009 12:53 pm
I don't know people very well - only the famous characters we hear and read about, the figures walking up and down the street, and my work colleagues. And they all seem a particular 'type.' But Sylvian seems to be another 'type,' possibly a 'type' I feel more familiar and comfortable with... How come there are not more people like him? Is it I am just not looking hard enough or I'm too quick to judge? Or is he really such a rare breed of personality? I'm trying to think of how to describe it... maybe it's the introvert/extrovert thing... and I guess extreme introverts tend to keep themselves to themselves and don't go out very much... so you don't tend to see them. Or maybe it's his seriousness. Maybe I am in the wrong part of the country or the world? Or in the wrong time period? But even his looks are different... not so much his hair style or the clothes he wears as everyone can be different in that sense... more his face expression and posture... his natural androgyny... It bemuses me how I can usually link people up by saying so-and-so is like so-and-so is like so-and-so... but in all my years I can't think of a single person I can say is like David Sylvian... Does anyone else find this and why do you think it is? Where can I find more Sylvians (except here of course)??
