David Bowie

Oh
Oh, yeah
Ziggy played guitar
Jamming good with Weird and Gilly
And the Spiders from Mars
He played it left hand
But made it too far
Became the special man
Then we were Ziggy's band

Ziggy really sang
Screwed-up eyes and screwed-down hairdo
Like some cat from Japan
He could lick'em by smiling
He could leave'em to hang
They came on so loaded, man
Well-hung and snow-white tan

So where were the spiders
While the fly tried to break our bones?
With just the beer light to guide us
So we bitched about his fans
And should we crush his sweet hands?
Oh

Fascinat de călătoriile în spațiu și inspirat de rockerul britanic Vince Taylor (cel care își dusese la extrem figura de star și se autointitulase Mateus, o figură mesianică venită din spațiu), David Bowie își crează personajul Ziggy Stardust ca un mijloc de evadare mentală și profesională, un tribut adus glam-rock-ului, costumelor și concertelor flamboaiante.

Părul portocaliu și fulgerul roș-albastru bazat pe machiajul și apariția personajului Malcolm McDowell din “A Clockwork Orange“, anisocoria lui David Bowie, toate aceste elemente au conturat o imagine ce m-a fascinat de când eram mică.

Mm-hmm
Ziggy played for time
Jiving us that we were voodoo
The kids were just crass
He was the nazz
With God-given ass
He took it all too far
But, boy, could he play guitar

Making love with his ego
Ziggy sucked up into his mind, ah
Like a leper messiah
When the kids had killed the man
I had to break up the band
Oh, yeah

Am ales să reinterpretez explozia de culori a lui Ziggy într-un portret alb-negru, folosind creionul mecanic (rOtring 800 / 0,5. mm) și cel cu grafit (Bic Evolution HB/2) cu o presărare de glitter gri antracit (H&M) cu irizații multicolore.

Ooh
Ziggy played guitar
