Not familiar with this guy at all. I'm sure I've heard the name though. Should be interesting. ...wait for it.... Bloody love Vince Taylor though! Arf!

I'd always been under the impression that Ziggy Stardust was Jimi Hendrix, until a few years ago.

Nah, he was 'Lady Stardust'. David Bowie wrote: People stared at the makeup on his face Laughed at his long black hair, his animal grace The boy in the bright blue jeans Jumped up on the stage And lady stardust sang his songs Of darkness and disgrace And he was alright, the band was all together Yes he was alright, the song went on forever Yes he was awful nice Really quite out of sight And he sang all night long Femme fatales emerged from shadows To watch this creature fair Boys stood upon their chairs To make their point of view I smiled sadly for a love I could not obey Lady stardust sang his songs Of darkness and dismay And he was alright, the band was all together Yes he was alright, the song went on forever And he was awful nice Really quite out of sight And he sang all night long Oh how I sighed when they asked if I knew his name Ooh they was alright, the band was all together Yes he was alright, and the song went on forever He was awful nice Really quite paradise He sang all night long

"screwed up eyes and screwed down hair do" from Ziggy sounds like Marc though.

Well, that and the reference to playing guitar left hand made me think of Hendrix, really. And besides some older, cool, guru type at college we all worshipped told us all that, too.

Yeah I remember hearing that one too. Don't know why but my gut feeling was always that it was Bolan though.

Love the story about Taylor getting up onstage in Paris, all decked out in white robes & claiming he was the new messiah. The stuff of rock'n'roll legend. And if there's a better r'n'r track than "Brand New Cadillac" i'll eat my hat.
