Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust

[White Like Jesus]

I'm going to derail this thread with the fact that I've been listening to the underrated "Outside" a hell of a lot lately.

[Green Chamber]

I've read him say a bunch of crazy shit about that album over the years. Even if that were the secret meaningstory, there's no way you could extrapolate all that from the lyrics!

[heresy is progress]

If it's some ultra-futuristic bullshit where people are getting all savage lines like, "should we crush his sweet hands" wouldn't be as cool to me.

I've always been sort partial to the burgess/kubrickian distopian nightmare future, and ziggy to me is of that world.

[Stormy]

Holy shit. I'd love to hear his explanation of Diamond Dogs.

[The Real MPD]

confirmed. helped a friend of mine move and had Rise and Fall in the truck with me while we were going back and forth. She was into it the first couple songs, but started belting out the lyrics and air guitaring the second Moonage Daydream came on. She's a trained opera singer; shit was loud. i still get blue balls thinking about her.

He was passed out in a throne like chair on stage and he had someone else singing during the whole show.

that would utterly infuriate me at the time if i was at the show, but somewhere down the line i would realize it's pretty much the height of being totally awesome

[copstache]

ziggy (the song) is a personal favorite karaoke song. i do a pretty good bowie impression

[Dr Yail Bloor]

I'd say more than "a few short years."

# Aladdin Sane (1973)
# Pin Ups (1973)
# Diamond Dogs (1974)
# Young Americans (1975)
# Station to Station (1976)
# Low (1977)
# "Heroes" (1977)
# Lodger (1979)
# Scary Monsters (and Super Creeps) (1980)

except for "Pin Ups" and some of "Young Americans" that's a pretty solid streak of awesome, IMO.
