STRANGE FASCINATION

Book ID/图书代码： 14020006B04572

English Summary/英文概要： You must think we out-of-towners are a strange and crazy bunch. Well, I guess we are. We dance a furious boredom’, a young David Bowie wrote from his provincial bedroom to DJ John Peel in 1969. Five years later this driven, questing and flawed soul created his androgynous, fantastical rock star Ziggy Stardust as the ultimate revenge of the suburbs. Bowie’s subsequent pioneering sexual experimentation, cracked actor showmanship and ability to embrace every musical genre from glam rock to drum‘n’bass have made him into the biggest commercial success in rock history since the Beatles and the Stones. He is as much an icon in 2005 as he was during the ‘70s.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： “你们一定以为我们乡下人都是一群奇怪的疯狂的家伙。是啊，我想我们是这样的。我们兴奋地舞着，驱赶空虚与无聊”，这句话来自1969年年轻的David Bowie在他的房间里给流行音乐节目主持人John Peel写的信。五年之后，这个要强的、不断寻寻觅觅自己梦想的年轻但又有些瑕疵的人物创造出Ziggy Stardust这个雌雄同体、奇幻的摇滚明星，并以此作为对城里人的一种报复。之后，Bowie成了变性手术的先驱，此举震惊演艺界，他拥有了掌握各种音乐类型的能力，这使他成为自甲克虫乐队和滚石乐队以来摇滚史上的最成功的商业运作案例。无论是在他成名的70年代还是2005年的今天他都是我们音乐界的一大偶像。
