Description

As Bowie’s boundary-shattering breakthrough turns 50, Jordan and Alex dive deep into his alien alter-ego with their first two-part episode. To kick things off, they dissect the many influences that went into Ziggy, from eccentric reclusive rockstars to David’s history with his tragic half-brother. They’ll also explain why the piano used on the sessions is one of the most important instruments in rock, explore the intriguing connection between “Starman” and ‘The Wizard of Oz,’ and describe the moment that Freddie Mercury stood front row for Ziggy’s grand unveiling.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
