Jeff Elder Isn't Real is a Substack by writer and musician Jeff Elder -- a place where the curtain is half open. Part memoir, part creative process, part cultural observation. Warm, honest, and a little strange. Just like life.In this episode, Jeff reads his latest post, "Loving the Aliens" -- a chapter from his ongoing life story set in the early 1980s, when the cracks in a pretty good childhood started getting wider. It's about class confusion, a prized Izod windbreaker, words that made him go quiet without knowing why, and two artists who looked like they were from somewhere else entirely. David Bowie and Gary Numan didn't just make great music. For a kid who didn't yet have language for what he was feeling, they made him feel a little less alone.Subscribe to Jeff Elder Isn't Real on Substack for new posts every week, including audio versions of most every essay.
