I could never forget David Jones aka Bowie. I saw his Ziggy Stardust Tour in Long Beach, in 72/73, which turned me on to his "other" LP's released in Brittan but not yet the USA. I can honestly say I was the first kid in school to have a Bowie Ziggy era haircut, and the ONLY kid..."NO flaming Orange hair dye", said Mom, and "NO dresses", "But Mom, they're not dresses, their Dashikis"....found a pair of 5 inch, silver glitter boots too, same type Ansley Dunbar wore on the DD tour, and I thought I was hot shit; everyone else thought I took one too many hits of something.....
1 Record Store in Hollywood, "Licorice Pizza" has his imports of "Hunky Dory", touche 59-, "Space Oddity", "The Man Who Sold the World", saw his "Diamond Dogs Tour" as well, and "Station to Station" was at the Great Western Forum, of which 18,998 out of 19,000 fans danced the entire Concert, my buddy and I were the only 2 seating.....
Just watched several Bowie moment films on Saturday, "Live at Hammersmith Odeon 73", and "Story Tellers", I didn't even know He was sick, .....
I laughed and shook his hand, and made my way back home
I searched for form and land, for years and years I roamed
I gazed a gazely stare at all the millions here
We must have died alone, a long long time ago
Who knows? not me
We never lost control
You're face to face
With the Man who Sold the World
