And finally, the man who gave the world the song Cars, who can forget it, is now using
his music to warn about climate change.
That, of course, isn't the only way in which Gary Neumann has changed over the past 40
years, since the days when he made electronic music cool.
[C] [F]
[C]
He's credited with bringing synthesized music into the [F] British mainstream four decades ago.
But Gary Neumann, then 21 and autistic, later [G] diagnosed as having Asperger's syndrome, was
not [C] having the time of his life.
[B] I see somebody hopelessly at their death, hopelessly at their death.
And I [Ab] just remember, just feeling as if I was being [Gb] pushed, pushed and pushed.
And still at the time I knew what I was [Ab] doing.
I didn't control it or anything.
[E]
When the time of our time, right now.
But he [G] has continued to make music.
Now 59, Neumann has a new album out.
And [A] his Asperger's, he says, actually helps him work.
Young people with the condition he has should not be discouraged.
Say [D] you're awkward, you don't [G] interact socially very well.
That's not much of a price to pay for what it gives you.
It gives you that focus, it gives you that obsession.
It means that you can, [N] bad reviews come in, [Em] just push it all to one [Ab] side.
That just gets in the way.
You can just plough through that.
Are you a rock star?
Yeah.
Five years ago a documentary followed his family as they moved from London to LA.
A move that boosted [Eb] his career and helped inspire his new album about a world destroyed by [B] global warming.
He [Gb] was dismayed, he said, when President Trump decided to pull out of the Paris Climate Accord.
In a very real sense, he started to feel what I was doing.
And I started to see it as this is something that's no longer a silly fantasy [B] idea about some unlikely future.
This actually has a relevance.
Four decades ago Gary Neumann famously sang [Db] about cars.
Now he's surrounded by them.
You live in Los Angeles, it's like the city of cars, isn't it?
The thing about being in America, [Eb] you chat to each other.
People go, how you doing?
Oh, right, thanks.
They don't start singing cars to you or anything?
Yeah, it happens.
Yeah, [A] more than once.
