It's not directly about Dave Gahan but I've been a Bobby Darin fan for a long time. In the past I'd only heard his voice and music but on youtube I've recently found a dozen or more videos of him and it struck me that in some way I can't pin point, he reminds me of Dave Gahan. Maybe it's that nose wrinkling thing ;D
I just googled the late Bobby Darin (1936-1973) and noticed that his birthday 14th May is very close to Dave Gahan's birthday as well and I believe they're both Taureans.
Maybe I just want to see a resemblance that isn't there. I don't like to compare them because I can't say I favor one over the other. But if you judge charisma and charm in the context of their different generations and time, I can see how they appear very alike.
Dave grew up first thinking that his step-father was his birth father. Bobby grew up thinking that his grandmother was his mother and that his mother was his sister.
Both have felt very misunderstood. People have assumed that Dave/Depeche Mode were new romantics. Bobby was upset that people thought he was a beat nick just because he once was down to his last pair of worn out jeans.
I'm just curious if anyone else can see some resemblance between Bobby and Dave?

Yes, Bobby Darin married Sandra Dee but I think he always loved Connie Francis and I believe that she was indirectly a contributing factor to the breakdown of Bobby and Sandra's marriage. www.bobbydarin.net/bdmeetingpg2.html scroll down to Dell Roberts comment.
Seeing as I'm a Connie Francis fan I like to think of what could've been and I like to imagine that Bobby was better suited to Connie. I'm not a Sandra fan but I feel bad that she suffered for this and that he like "our" Dave had a son who grew up with his parents broken marriage and divorce. I'm only mentioning this because I'm a Connie Francis fan and I really don't like people saying nasty things about her and I won't engage in Sandra vs. Connie debates!
