Synopsis
The performer responsible for the rise of glam rock, rock & roll theatrics, and the adoption of serial onstage personas is profiled in British music writer David Buckley's unauthorized biography, STRANGE FASCINATION. David Bowie's career has stretched from the UK's mid-1960s Mod era to the dawn of the 21st century, and has encompassed music, movies, and theatre. Buckley examines the artist's extensive body of work, with insightful critiques of albums like 1971's HUNKY DORY, 1972's THE RISE AND FALL OF ZIGGY STARDUST AND THE SPIDERS FROM MARS, and 1983's LET'S DANCE. He also extensively covers numerous tours, concerts, and television appearances, and conducts revealing interviews with musical associates like Bowie guitarist and bandleader Carlos Alomar and "Space Oddity" producer Gus Dudgeon. His behind-the-scenes vignettes--like the exit of Texas blues guitarist Stevie Ray Vaughan from the Serious Moonlight tour--are particularly informative, as are his insights into Bowie's continuing manipulation of his public image. Written from the viewpoint of an adoring yet slightly mistrustful fan, STRANGE FASCINATION also includes black-and-white photographs of the star in his various personas throughout the years, including his Mod days, his Thin White Duke period, and his '90s hip rock-older-statesman phase. For good measure, there's also a useful guide to other writings on the artist, as well as a selected discography.
