In 1994, I fell in love, with a song, an album, a band, a man. The song was called "Always", the album entitled "I say, I say, I say", the band Erasure, and the man...well, of course the mysterious, reclusive and damn-right sexy Vince Clarke.
Fourteen years on and goodness only knows how many albums later, I am still in love. I've met him a couple times over the years at concerts and signing events, and he was just as much the gentle, quiet mystery in person as he exudes in concert. Vince is married and a father now, and I'm happily with Adam, but you can never quite forget your first love. Even if you never knew him.
A toast to musical genius and my first love, Vince Clarke.
