No knowledge of David Bowie is necessary for this club but an open mind and a love for music would be great! If you are a Bowie fan though, you should also totally join!
Are you familiar with the term "concept album"? It's when a band or musician creates a series of songs in one album that, together, tell a longer story. One of the most famous and a favourite of Leon's is David Bowie's Ziggy Stardust. Let's listen to the lyrics and feel the beats of this landmark piece of musical history as we understand its story. And let's discuss the journey!
David Bowie is an absolute legend in rock and roll and had a career that spanned five decades. But why do some people still call him Ziggy Stardust? Ziggy was a stage persona that Bowie became in the early seventies, an alien from another planet. And some still believe that's who Bowie really was! What was this alien's message to the people of Earth? What was the journey of Ziggy Stardust? This concept album is about who we are, where we can go, and how we might be seen by "others". It's deep and it's some of the best music of the twentieth century. Until today, you can play any song from this album at any bar in Europe or North America and you're almost assured to have everybody rocking out in nostalgic wonder regardless of their generation. Let's take a trip together, shall we?
