popular musics and aftershocks…
Sandwiched between Blondie and Boy George (oooer..), David Bowie is the main feature in the latest instalment of the Daily Mail’s ‘A-Z of Rock and Pop’ (22nd September issue of the WEEKEND magazine). Though the feature is not always 100% accurate…left eye brown, right eye blue…its heart is in the right place:
“No British singer has had anything like the impact and influence on music, fashion and popular culture as that of David Bowie.”
and:
“HIGH: The 18-month period in which Hunky Dory, Ziggy Stardust and Aladdin Sane reinvented British rock music. STAR QUALITY: The lightning-bolt make-up, the amazing outfits, the 30 years of super-cool superstardom.”
A couple more illustrations, as if they were needed, that justify our pride in being Bowie fans.
