Hubby went shopping with me last month and purchased this Rolling Stone magazine with David Bowie on the front.
I hadn’t thought about all those vinyl records Hubs has stored in the basement until I saw Bowie’s picture.
Hubs has a few cartoons of the old vinyl records kept from his bachelor days.
Here’s some of Hubby’s Bowie album covers, taken two years ago with my old Kodak Z700 digital camera.
Ziggy Stardust and The Spiders From Mars was released in 1972.
For the tour he dyed his hair auburn, painted his face and wore fabulous costumes. His outrageous antics in his Ziggy Stardust persona appealed to both sexes.
David, born Jan. 8, 1947 in South London, changed his birth family name from Jones to Bowie because there was another well-known Davey Jones of The Monkees of whom he was often mistaken.
The Bowie last name was taken from the American Alamo hero, James Bowie, who’s family is connected with inventing the Bowie hunting knife.
David had two children, Alexandria and Duncan, with first wife Angie.
In 1992, 12 yrs. after their divorce he married supermodel Iman.
David Bowie died of liver cancer Jan 10, 2016. By Buddhist rituals, his ashes were scattered over Bali, Indonesia.
Front and back of the album Let’s Dance from 1983.
Another striking album cover from 1974- Diamond Dogs.
Hubby often hints about getting a turntable to play the vinyls again...maybe Mrs. Santa will get him one next Christmas.
I was inspired to write about David Bowie after reading this post by
