Mister Nobody

Duke Special and the books that rock - Times Online: "“I was reading The Book of Illusions, about a silent-movie star who led a very colourful life but disappeared at the zenith of his powers in the late 1920s. He leaves behind 12 films and the book describes one of the films in detail, about a man who is given this potion that makes him gradually disappear. I found it a really intriguing scenario. I was in a studio recording a different song, waiting for the engineer to fiddle around, and I started playing around with this concept. A song called Mr Nobody came out. ”" - Iggy Pop
