"Starry, Starry Night"...Er, Wrong One..

Isleworth, "Heart of the Middlesex Riviera" TM, has been home to two notable Vincents.
Van Gogh, (pronounced "Gogh"), lived here in 1876 while working as a teacher & lay preacher. Although his later work, like his sunflowers & "Starry Night", is now celebrated, the drawings he did whilst living locally still seem to be considered a bit rubbish by those who know about that sort of thing.
Even more thrillingly, Isleworth was also home to Vince Taylor, who was one of the inspirations for David Bowie's Ziggy Stardust. These days he's best remembered for writing Brand New Cadillac famously covered by the Clash on their "London Calling" long player.

There have been lots of sunflowers blipped recently, but few as downright weird as Day by Dave's!
