Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars at 50 Years

from Music, Mindfulness, & Madness · host Dee Madden, Michael Hateley, and Anu Kirk

50 years ago, David Bowie released "The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars", his fifth album. The one that gave him a taste of success, and that set the template for what would follow. After all this time, what makes this record so enduring for us and everyone else? What's the worst song on it? The worst lyrics? Is it good? Is it bad? Give me your hands! You're not alone! Join us to celebrate the Starman. --References:1972 hot 100 singles: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billboard_Year-End_Hot_100_singles_of_19721972 albums: https://www.albumoftheyear.org/genre/7-rock/1972/Zaphod Beeblebrox: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zaphod_BeeblebroxThe Imitation Game (movie about Alan Turing): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Imitation_GameThe first Earth Day was on April 22, 1970 and marked a turning point for US environmentalismBowie live:Ziggy Stardust (live): https://youtu.be/G8sdsW93ThQFive Years (Old Grey Whistle Test, 1972): https://youtu.be/8gPSGrpIlkcStarman (Top of the Pops lip-sync): https://youtu.be/oOKWF3IHu0IRock 'N' Roll Suicide (Live, 1973): https://youtu.be/CD1nzOeS6U0Dead Man Walking (from "Earthling" - acoustic): https://youtu.be/a3EzuRho7_k--Michael Hateley:Lotus Mastering http://lotusmastering.com/ Extra Fancy "You Look Like a Movie Star":https://youtu.be/0pE1TqlWHCkBaldyloks (Michael Hateley & John Napier):https://soundcloud.com/baldyloks-1Dee Madden:https://www.deemadden.com/Penal Colony “Blue 9” video:https://youtu.be/Fes9E3ea8FYDee Madden on Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/artist/4jsYxJ4QxzoGn9t0HRllPkAnu Kirk:https://www.anukirk.comAnu on BandcampSid Luscious and The Pants on BandcampLuscious-235 on BandcampRêvenir on BandcampMichael Hateley:Lotus Mastering http://lotusmastering.com/Hello CrowHello Crow, Michael's new EP is available now!
