17."LADY STARDUST"-DAVID BOWIE
"IF YOU WANT TO MAKE A GREAT ALBUM YOU'VE GOT TO SIT DOWN
AND REALLY WORK AT WRITING SOME GREAT SONGS"-SO SAID
DAVID BOWIE AFTER RELEASING HIS MAGNUM OPUS "ZIGGY STARDUST"*.
AT TIMES IN THE ALBUM BOWIE SPEAKS FOR THE FICTICOUS CHARACTOR
"ZIGGY" BUT AT OTHERS HE ALSO SPEAKS FOR ZIGGY'S EXTREMLY-
PASSIONATE FANS ".......OHHH HOW I SIGHED,WHEN THEY ASKED IF I KNEW
HIS NAME" BOWIE SINGS AFTER-"THE BOY IN THE BRIGHT BLUE JEANS,
JUMPED UP ON THE STAGE !".HE SEE'S AND DESCRIBES THE ANDROGYNOUS
ROCK SUPERSTAR FROM EVERY ANGLE-WITH COMPOSITIONS SO
BRILLIANT THAT THEY DEFY THE CONVENTIONS OF WHAT IS USUALLY
POSSIBLE IN A THREE MINUTE POP SONG."LADY STARDUST" IS AN
EXSTENSION OF THOSE BOUNDRIES AND IT SHOWED THE WAY TO
POSSIBILITY'S IN ROCK MUSIC THAT NO ONE PREVIOUSLY HAD THOUGHT
OF.
*The full title of the album is "The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust
and the Spiders from Mars".
