Description
Today I’m joined by Australian music legend Murray Cook (The Wiggles, The Soul Movers) to discuss David Bowie’s nailed-on glam rock classic ‘The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars’. Murray tells the tale of how he traded away a Slade LP for this album, we debate its ‘concept album’ bonafides, we gush over the greatness of Spiders guitarist Mick Ronson, why the record was more successful than Hunky Dory, the unique sequencing of the album, how Bowie stayed cool til the end, his “cut up” method of writing lyrics, why he was such an effective collaborator and more.
