Alvin Stardust Dies
 

Someone I can identify my teen year memories to.

RIP Alvin

I had to think back a bit, but after watching some clips on YouTube, I do remember seeing him on American TV on some program, maybe Midnight Special or Don Kirshner's show, back in the early 70s. I seem to recall he was on the same show where I first saw The Sensational Alex Harvey Band ("Delilah"); I believe the episode was sort of an introduction to 'Glam Rock'...

Am I incorrect in guessing Billy Idol owes a bit to Alvin Stardust for his stage presence?...

and, really Jim, identifying your teen years by 'Glam Rock'? Somehow I just can't see you in platform shoes and a Bowie cut...

RIP, Mr. Stardust and thanks for the music...


<O>

Yep guilty....loved to wear the platform boots and was known by fellow apprentices in the shipyard during the early 70's as 'Ziggy' because of my infatuation toward my all-time musical hero David Bowie :)

On second thought, don't call me on Skype anymore.




Weirdo. :stare:









:O:

Pictures or it didn't happen.:o

Jealousy gets you nowhere :)

If I had some I'd post them, believe me :)
