John Walsh: Me, Ziggy and the passion of pure fandom
"Five Years" was the opening track on The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars, the classic album by David Bowie released on 6 June 1972. Its 40th birthday year was celebrated this week by the unveiling of a grey plaque in Heddon Street, London, where the cover was shot by Brian Ward in January 1972. By October that year, when I went to my first term at university, the record had become my emotional crutch, and the protean figure of Ziggy my alter ego.
The fictional Ziggy is an alien "starman" who falls to earth, learns the guitar, forms a band, becomes the last rock star on a dying earth, has bisexual frolics as Ziggy/Lady Stardust, drinks beer and is abused by fans and band colleagues until, deciding he's lived too long, he commits suicide. That's a lot to try and empathise with, but it didn't matter.
Some of the songs didn't have much to do with the alien, and that didn't matter. Philistine friends said the music was derivative, that "Starman" was, basically, Judy Garland's "Somewhere Over the Rainbow," while "Hang Onto Yourself" and "Suffragette City" were 60 per cent Eddie Cochran, but even that didn't matter. What mattered was the passion of pure fandom.
