Jsaw the UK release of Bowie’s iconic album that blasted him into stardom and changed the pop culture landscape for many years to come. His status (Bowie’s/Ziggy’s/Aladdin’s) was always iconic in the cultural sense, and has now also moved towards the religious.We are pleased to announce that on Friday, June 9 at Tampa’s legendary Skipper’s Smokehouse will be presenting 45 Years: Stardust Memories – The David Bowie Tribute Performs The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars! Graffiti and a framed picture, illustrating the enhanced iconic status of Aladdin Stardust following a further death – that of his creator and avatar. This open-eyed version of the Mona Lisa of pop, taken at the original photo session, was not widely seen until it was used to promote the V&A exhibition. The posters for the SDBTB event featured an open-eyed Bowie rather than a shut-eyed Bowie. We saw them in 2016, they were great, and I took some photos.
After we saw Tigers On Vaseline, the band’s singer moved onward and upward to the Sensational David Bowie Tribute Band, in the process graduating from pubs to theatres. …All of which, and more besides, was why my wife and I went to see Tigers On Vaseline that Saturday night… He never wore it again, though on the back of the "David Live" album there’s a photo in which he's holding in front of his face a white mask bearing the lightning bolt, taken on the ‘Diamond Dogs’ tour in 1974.
It was about death about looking over your shoulder, seeing your black star and knowing your time had come. In 1960 Elvis recorded a peculiar song called ‘Black Star’. The lightning bolt arose from two sources: the manufacturer’s badge on a National rice cooker that was present at the time and Elvis’s personal TCB (Taking Care of Business) logo.īowie was fascinated by Elvis, and they shared a birthday (January 8) as well as a record label (RCA).īowie apparently said he wrote ‘Golden Years’ with Elvis in mind but was too shy to approach him, and Elvis was said to have liked the idea of Bowie producing an album for him after hearing the song. It was Brian Duffy who photographed the image that has since become the Mona Lisa of pop. improvised on the evening of a 1972 photo shoot for the "Aladdin Sane" album cover… …We never made it to the V&A, so we went to Bologna instead… The LP is in fact The Lonely Bull by Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass. When I asked her if between Bowie’s thighs was the place she’d always wanted to be, she laughed even more.īowie clock bought for me by my son as a last-minute (and perfect) birthday present from a street vendor in Melbourne a couple of years ago. Laughing woman with giant papier-mache Bowie puppet at Belladrum festival. Sinister self-portrait in a Bowie mask originally purchased from a stationery shop in Amsterdam. Which was in itself a special kind of genius. At the time these two were just a pair of interesting freaks that he had befriended, adopted, or latched onto – two among many. …in the right place at the right time with the right people… …opening up the gatefold sleeve and being confronted by the shocking Bowie-creature within… … the most overlooked aspect of this television milestone… …with his exotic hair, his coy yet knowing smirk and his camp pointy finger… I see a David Bowie tribute band (featuring Tigers On Vaseline) Bowie as folk music the Age of Bowie. ‘Starman’, early memories of Bowie (also featuring Christie, T Rex) Bowie versus my Christian upbringing Bowie as myth, hero, artist, artiste and alien Bowie books, compilation albums and postage stamps. I see a David Bowie tribute band (featuring Tigers On Vaseline).
