Episode 26: Turn and Face the Strange

from Rock N Roll Archaeology · host Pantheon Media

Glam rock was more than just a sound—it was a shift in how music, fashion, and identity intertwined.  We explore the rise of Glam in the early ‘70s, with David Bowie as its central figure. Through alter egos like Ziggy Stardust and the Thin White Duke, Bowie use theatricality, androgyny, and science fiction themes to push the boundaries of rock music and stardom.  But Glam wasn’t just Bowie. UK Artists like T. Rex and Slade, and Americans like Lou Reed and Alice Cooper each brought their own take, blending rock with elaborate visuals and a playful disregard for traditional norms.  Glam faded after a few short years, but its influence is lasting. Glam style and attitude reappear, over and over, in Rock Music.  Producer and Host: Christian Swain  Head Writer: Richard Evans  Sound Designer: Jerry Danielsen Learn more about your ad choices.
