I first saw Bowie in Labyrinth and i didn't know who he was, i was 9 at the time i asked my mum "Who is that" and my mum simply said "Thats David Bowie...........he can do anything".
@PollyMedusa18 - your mum is absolutely right. When Bowie put his arm round Mick Ronson, my dad (like all dads at the time) burst a gasket. All 12-year olds - like me at the time - knew our lives had changed at this moment, with this performance!
@littlelambkins12 No, please don't say that. David Bowie was a musician, original. You're gonna forget lady Gag in a year - because her music is trash.
@Pollymedusa18 - Your mum is 100% spot on....caused a huge rumpus because many people couldnt work out this camp guy who had declared he was gay about a month before this was filmed for Top of the Pops. Of course, we was married with a one year old son at the time but that didnt stop people believing he was Satan. Such a brilliant and true star!
a seminal moment in music - remember watching this - he said he was Bi & in 72 & the world didn't stop - although it was a brave thing to do - unlike the uptight/conservative/bland/homophobic driven youth culture of today - the 70's to mid 80's were an amazing time to live tru where the energy of youth was so much better than the cesspit it is today -
Nice quality. Excellent vid.
