Summary: 5 Stars
Ten Thousand Stars for living legend Mick Rock Inspiring, fantastical, beautiful and even hysterically funny, [yes David Bowie is quite funny here in his rare act of putting pen to paper]. Moonage Daydream is the perfect book for any fan of David Bowie and Mick Rock or any fan of rock and the rock n' roll supergods, like Iggy, Lou, and the rest. Spectacular spreads of never-before-seen photos from the US/UK Ziggy tour and stills from Mick's ground-breaking music videos reproduced along with actual tour memos make for a very special experience. You'll almost feel like you were there. Sit down and share this with a friend or two.
An absolute MUST HAVE book. Buy it now, you'll be so glad you did! You should also buy Mick Rock's 'Blood and Glitter'-- one of the most exciting rock photography books out there today.
Summary of Moonage Daydream: The Life & Times of Ziggy Stardust
In 1972 David Bowie released the iconic LP The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars, which established him as a major force in modern pop music. It was also his platform to present a visually fascinating and sexually ambivalent stage persona called Ziggy Stardust. Simultaneously, Bowie befriended the famed rock-and-roll photographer, Mick Rock, whom he invited to chronicle his Ziggy persona on film. Mick Rock amassed an amazing archive of footage that traces the entire stratospheric two-year career of Ziggy Stardust-from the early acclaim to the pivotal American tours, and the final blockbuster concert that marked Ziggy's retirement.Ziggy was a combination of extraordinary costumes, colorful makeup, outrageous hair, and-above all-first-class rock. More than 650 of Mick Rock's compelling pictures reflect his amazing collaboration-and friendship-with Bowie. The result of this incredible collaboration is a vast album of images of onstage performances and backstage antics. Together, David Bowie's text and Mick Rock's images trace the rise and final swansong of Ziggy Stardust. This affordably priced edition will be a must-have for every fan.Music Books
