Adam Ant was born Stuart Leslie Goddard on this date in 1954. Supposedly, the name “Adam” was inspired by the biblical first man, symbolizing a fresh start after a serious bout of depression and a suicide attempt, while “Ant” reflected his desire for his band to embody industriousness and resilience, akin to ants in nature.
A handful of tracks from Mr. Ant are included on today’s playlist.
