TONYA MOSLEY, HOST:
That is FRESH AIR. I am Tonya Mosley. Fifty years in the past, David Bowie retired his alter ego Ziggy Stardust reside on stage to a shocked viewers and band mates.
(SOUNDBITE OF DOCUMENTARY, “ZIGGY STARDUST AND THE SPIDERS FROM MARS”)
DAVID BOWIE: All people, this has been the one of many biggest excursions of our life. We actually…
(APPLAUSE)
BOWIE: Of all of the reveals on this tour, this explicit present will stay with us the longest as a result of…
(APPLAUSE)
BOWIE: …Not solely is it the final present of the tour, but it surely’s the final present that we’ll ever do.
MOSLEY: That second and your entire efficiency was captured by documentary filmmaker D.A. Pennebaker. Now, that movie, “Ziggy Stardust And The Spiders From Mars,” together with the soundtrack, have been restored and reissued as a part of a fiftieth anniversary version. Ziggy was considered one of Bowie’s early gender-bending alter egos, mixing androgyny and science fiction. He wore elaborate eye make-up and lipstick and dyed his hair crimson. However even earlier than Ziggy, Bowie had grow to be an icon of glam rock, after posing on the duvet of his 1970 album “The Man Who Offered The World” sporting a robe and make-up.
Bowie died in 2016 of most cancers simply after his 69th birthday. He had a genius for reinventing his sound and his picture. His best-selling music was a mixture of funk, dance and digital, with influences of cabaret and jazz. Here is the title monitor from the brand new fiftieth anniversary restored model of the movie.
(SOUNDBITE OF DOCUMENTARY, “ZIGGY STARDUST AND THE SPIDERS FROM MARS”)
BOWIE: (Singing) Oh, yeah. Ziggy performed guitar, jamming good with Bizarre and Gilly and the Spiders from Mars. He performed it left hand, however made it too far. Grew to become the particular man, then we had been Ziggy’s band. Ziggy actually sang, screwed-up eyes and screwed-down hairdo, like some cat from Japan. He might kill them by smiling. He might depart them to hold. Nicely, he got here on so loaded, man – (inaudible) and a snow-white tan. So the place had been the Spiders…
MOSLEY: Terry Gross spoke with Bowie in 2002, main as much as the thirtieth anniversary of “The Rise And Fall Of Ziggy Stardust And The Spiders From Mars.” She requested him how he got here up with the character of Ziggy.
(SOUNDBITE OF ARCHIVED NPR BROADCAST)
BOWIE: Nicely, I assume the straightforward one-liner is that myself and my mates and I assume a sure contingent of the musicians in London firstly of the ’70s had been fed up with denim and the hippies. And I feel we type of wished to go elsewhere. And a few of us, I feel – us extra pompous, arty ones…
TERRY GROSS: (Laughter).
BOWIE: …In all probability learn an excessive amount of George Steiner and type of acquired the concept that we had been getting into to this sort of post-culture age and that we higher do one thing post-modernist (laughter) shortly earlier than any individual else did.
GROSS: So did you see the type of gender elements of your efficiency – , dressing, , typically sporting a night robe, typically, , typically sporting lipstick, dyeing your hair, a number of eye make-up – did you see the gender stuff as being an announcement about post-modernism or an announcement about sexuality?
BOWIE: Nicely, neither. I feel they had been simply gadgets to create this new distancing from the subject material. There was a type of a diffidence, an concept that basically hadn’t been considered earlier than, that the historical past of rock could possibly be recycled differently and introduced again into focus with out the bags that comes together with it. It was a way – a really robust sense, of irony, I feel. Nicely, it turned the muse of two or three of us. I imply, I am cautious of the phrase glam as a result of I feel that turned the all-inclusive time period for any bloke with lipstick on, which is okay, , and that is what it’s when it comes right down to the general public degree. The general public – clearly, they take issues in a really simplistic style, and so they need to. That is why we now have such great tv.
(LAUGHTER)
BOWIE: ? However I feel that, as I say, there have been some – I assume it was, , type of that artwork faculty type of posturing that the Brits normally have. And it was I assume individuals like myself and Roxy Music that had a distinct agenda about taking over music. I feel all of us had been type of – nicely, perhaps. I can not communicate for Roxy, after all, however a few of us had been failed artists or reluctant artists. , the alternatives had been both, for many Brit musicians at that time, portray or making music. And I feel we opted for music, one, as a result of it was extra thrilling. And two, you would truly earn a residing at it.
However I feel we introduced loads of our aesthetic sensibilities to it when it comes to that we wished to fabricate a brand new type of vocabulary, a brand new type of foreign money. And so the so-called gender-bending, the choosing up of perhaps elements of the avant garde and elements of, for me personally, issues just like the Kabuki theatre in Japan and German expressionist films and poetry by Baudelaire and – oh, God, it is so way back now. Every thing from Presley to Edith Piaf went into this mixture of this hybridization, this pluralism about what in truth, rock music was and will grow to be. That wasn’t actually a quite simple reply to something in any respect, was it?
GROSS: No.
BOWIE: Sorry about that.
GROSS: But it surely was an excellent reply.
BOWIE: Nicely, it was a pudding, . It actually was a pudding. It was a pudding of latest concepts. And we had been terribly excited. And I feel we took it on our shoulders that we had been creating the twenty first century in 1971. That was the thought. And we wished to only blast all the things prior to now, quite just like the Vorticists did firstly of the century in Britain, or the Dadaists did in Europe. , it was the identical sensibility of, all the things is garbage, and all garbage is great.
GROSS: Now, earlier than you turned David Bowie, if you had been – I imply, if you had been working – if you had been enjoying with different bands earlier than forming your personal, did you do the denim…
BOWIE: I used to be…
GROSS: …Factor? , did you put on T-shirt and denims on stage?
BOWIE: Very, very not often, truly. No, it wasn’t actually one thing that I – as a result of I by no means believed it. It all the time felt such as you had been making an attempt too onerous to appear like the viewers or one thing. That entire factor in regards to the creative integrity, which after all, I’ve by no means purchased into with any artist – it is simply not an actual factor.
GROSS: So let me cease you and see if I acquired this straight. Sporting a T-shirt and denims appeared phony to you…
BOWIE: Yeah.
GROSS: …However sporting mascara and eye make-up appeared proper.
BOWIE: Ah, I did not say that sporting – a glamorization of the rock artist was any more true than the opposite factor.
GROSS: Oh, OK. Proper. It is artifice…
BOWIE: They’re each – it is all artifice.
GROSS: But it surely’s an artifice that you simply consider in. Yeah.
BOWIE: Yeah.
GROSS: Proper. Acquired it. Yeah.
BOWIE: Yeah. I feel my principal level can be is that the T-shirt and jeans factor in my thoughts was additionally an artifice.
GROSS: Proper.
BOWIE: I did not really feel comfy in that as a result of I did not really feel like one of many working males. I imply, I might by no means be a blue collar-y (ph) type of Springsteen-y kind artist as a result of I do not consider I’m that, and I do not consider I might ever characterize that. And it’s merely illustration.
GROSS: What was your loved ones background?
BOWIE: I ponder.
GROSS: (Laughter).
BOWIE: Nicely, my father labored for a kids’s house referred to as Dr. Barnardo’s Properties. They are a charity.
GROSS: I see.
BOWIE: He was a charity employee, in truth. My mom was a housewife. Each from – nicely, my father was from a farming household, agricultural household within the north of England. And my mom got here from a really working class.
GROSS: What had been you listening to if you had been a young person?
BOWIE: Oh, wow. It was so – I feel the one music I did not hearken to was nation and Western, and that holds to at the present time. It is a lot simpler for me to say that. The type of music I did not hearken to was just about that. I imply all the things, from jazz to classical to fashionable. And Tibetan horns had been an excellent a part of it in 1966, ’67 (laughter). I like Tibetan horns. I feel Tibetan horns are one of the crucial great sounds on the planet, and Tibetan chanting. It is nice.
GROSS: I’ve examine one thing that I am certain lots of people have requested you about, which is that if you had been 16, you had been in a combat that blinded you in a single eye and, I feel, paralyzed the muscle. I don’t know, although, what occurred within the combat. Did you sometimes get into loads of fights if you had been that age or was this an uncommon growth?
BOWIE: Nicely, firstly, no, I used to be 13, not 16.
GROSS: Oh, OK.
BOWIE: And it was – my greatest buddy hit me as a result of I might pulled his girlfriend. So I feel most likely in his thoughts he had each proper to do this. And the best factor…
GROSS: And, yeah, how horrifying was it to…
BOWIE: Nicely, it was, , very uncomfortable (laughter). The very best factor – a part of it, after all, is that we nonetheless remained very shut pals. And I can not bear in mind – it have to be 40 years later.
GROSS: And also you misplaced the imaginative and prescient in that eye?
BOWIE: Just about so, yeah.
GROSS: As an artist, how – has it been tough to see what you wish to see, to have full depth notion, for creating and for wanting?
BOWIE: (Laughter).
GROSS: Have you learnt what I imply? Is it…
BOWIE: I most likely absorb extra in a single eye than most individuals do with two, so I feel I am all proper.
MOSLEY: David Bowie talking with Terry Gross in 2002. There is a new fiftieth anniversary version of the live performance movie “The Rise And Fall Of Ziggy Stardust And The Spiders From Mars.” Extra after a break. That is FRESH AIR.
(SOUNDBITE OF DAVID BOWIE SONG, “REBEL REBEL”)
MOSLEY: That is FRESH AIR. We’re listening to Terry’s 2002 interview with David Bowie. He had launched the album “Heathen.” The live performance, movie and soundtrack “The Rise And Fall Of Ziggy Stardust And The Spiders From Mars” has now been restored in a fiftieth anniversary version. Here is one other music from it.
(SOUNDBITE OF SONG, “CHANGES”)
BOWIE: (Singing) Nonetheless do not know what I used to be ready for. Time was operating wild – one million dead-end streets. And each time I assumed I acquired it made, it appeared the style was not so candy. Then I turned myself to face me, however I by no means caught a glimpse of how the others should see the faker. I am a lot too quick to take the check. Modifications. Flip and face the unusual modifications. Did not wish to should be a richer man. Modifications. Flip and face the unusual modifications. Simply wished to be a greater man. Time might change me, however I can not hint time.
GROSS: Getting again to “Ziggy” once more, which is again in theaters, , the story of Ziggy Stardust is the story of, , somebody who turns into very well-known. , it is the story of rock ‘n’ roll fame – turns into very well-known, after which fame turns into his downfall. He is type of killed, in a approach, by fame. What did that fable that you simply created imply to you on the time? Is that the way in which you noticed rock ‘n’ roll fame?
BOWIE: Nicely, I can solely actually have a look at it the way in which I have a look at it now, which is, I feel, independently of myself, Ziggy Stardust has his personal life. He is his personal creation. And what? Good luck to him.
GROSS: (Laughter).
BOWIE: However frankly, for me, I type of closed the door on him in 1973.
GROSS: Proper.
BOWIE: And I am very blissful that he is having such success and that individuals nonetheless like him and all that. I heard he acquired married. Anyway…
GROSS: (Laughter).
BOWIE: I personally have one other life, , which does not belong to Ziggy Stardust. And I do are inclined to not likely get that concerned in what I’ve accomplished prior to now. I do type of depart that as much as different individuals, and that is a lot how I really feel about Ziggy. I type of favor the viewers, and perhaps writers or commentators or no matter, to make what they are going to of the Ziggy Stardust interval and character as a result of it truly would not curiosity me a lot now.
GROSS: Is having an alter ego much less vital to you than it was?
BOWIE: I feel a lot has been made from this alter ego enterprise. I imply, I truly stopped creating characters in 1975, for albums anyway. The one time that I’ve adopted characterization once more since that time for my very own albums has been an album referred to as “Outdoors” that I did with Brian Eno just a few years in the past, which actually had a myriad – perhaps one too many characters. But it surely had loads of characters on that, and I performed all of the components. However that was accomplished as a sonic theatrical piece of music. However the character factor actually is kind of, for me personally, quite historical historical past. But it surely’s type of – I assume over right here particularly in America, the soundbite-y (ph) factor actually type of stays round. And also you’re recognized by the – you are outlined by the 2 or three issues that the biggest quantity of individuals learn about. And that type of is who you might be publicly. And mine is admittedly Ziggy Stardust, characters, “Let’s Dance.” That is me within the American…
(LAUGHTER)
BOWIE: …Frankly, within the American eye. However in truth, in Europe, I am extra type of this bloke what writes a number of stuff. And I type of – I assume, I – , a better variety of the 26 or so albums that I’ve made are recognized in Europe than they’re in America.
GROSS: Your new CD was produced by Tony Visconti, who labored with you out of your first album by…
BOWIE: And myself. It was a co-production.
GROSS: Good. Thanks. From – so that you labored collectively out of your first album by your 1980 album “Scary Monsters.” How did you get hooked as much as work once more now?
BOWIE: Nicely, we began speaking in regards to the risk, and we kind of reunited about 5 years in the past. And we had since that time been speaking about the potential for doing one other album collectively. And I used to be the one which was actually fairly reticent about doing it as a result of I am very conscious of how nicely considered loads of our earlier stuff is by the viewers for these explicit albums, the issues that we did within the ’70s and early ’80s. And I did not in any approach wish to cheapen or tarnish the status that we had. And so it took me a really, very very long time to determine the way in which in to re-collaborating once more. And it appeared to me that the absolute best factor to do was take the emphasis off the manufacturing aspect of issues and put it on high quality and power of songs. So I stockpiled or began stockpiling songs that I assumed actually had been good, sound items of labor, in order that we went into the studio with a really particular finish level in view, and we actually did not should lean again on the previous in any respect.
GROSS: How is your sense of your self as a performer totally different now on the age of 55 than it was if you had been in your 20s and getting began and being – if you had been in persona and doing the entire, , eye make-up and dyed hair and attire, if you…
BOWIE: That was for 18 months, truly…
GROSS: Proper.
BOWIE: …Which, out of a profession of practically 40 years, will not be very lengthy. Nonetheless, I am going to reply your query. I am not truly a really eager performer. I like placing reveals collectively. I like placing occasions collectively. In reality, all the things I do is in regards to the conceptualizing and realization of a chunk of labor, whether or not it is the recording or the efficiency aspect. And type of after I put the factor collectively, I do not thoughts doing it for just a few weeks. However then fairly frankly, I get extremely bored as a result of I do not see myself a lot as a – I imply, I do not reside for the stage. I do not reside for an viewers. That basically would not…
GROSS: Can I cease you and say that I am actually shocked to listen to that?
BOWIE: Most individuals are.
GROSS: As a result of – yeah, as a result of I all the time considered you as any individual who actually relished the theater facet of efficiency…
BOWIE: No.
GROSS: …And who very efficiently made theater part of music efficiency.
BOWIE: Frankly, if I might get away with not having to carry out, I might be very blissful. It isn’t my favourite factor to do. As I say, I do not thoughts making an attempt it out and ensuring one thing appears to work nicely. However I actually do quite wish to transfer on as a result of I feel it is quite a waste of time endlessly singing the identical songs each evening for a 12 months. And it is simply not what I wish to do. What I like doing is writing and recording and far more on the – I assume, on that inventive degree. It is enjoyable deciphering songs and all that, however I would not prefer it as a residing.

Now she walks by her sunken dream to the seat with the clearest view. And he or she’s hooked to the silver display.
However the movie is a saddening bore for she’s lived it 10 instances or extra. She might spit within the eyes of fools as they ask her to deal with sailors preventing within the dancehall – oh, man, have a look at these cavemen go. It is the freakiest present. Check out the lawman beating up the mistaken man. Oh, man, surprise if he’ll ever know he is within the best-selling present. Is there life on Mars?
MOSLEY: That is FRESH AIR. I am Tonya Mosley. Let’s get again to Terry’s 2002 interview with David Bowie.

(SOUNDBITE OF SONG, “YOUNG AMERICANS”)
BOWIE: (Singing) They pulled in simply behind the bridge. He lays her down, he frowns. Gee, my life’s a humorous factor. Am I nonetheless too younger? He kissed her then and there. She took his ring, took his infants. It took him minutes, took her nowhere. Heaven is aware of, she’d have taken something, however all evening, she needs a younger American. Younger American, younger American. She needs the younger American. All proper. However she needs the younger American. All the way in which from Washington. Her breadwinner begs off the toilet ground. We reside for simply these 20 years. Do we now have to die for the 50 extra? All evening, he needs the younger American. Younger American, younger American. He needs the younger American. All proper. All proper, nicely, he needs the younger American.
GROSS: Did you develop up considering of your self as a singer? Or did you begin singing since you wished to sing, , since you wished to carry out?
BOWIE: No, I need – I begin – what I wished to do after I was 9 years outdated, I wished to be the baritone sax participant within the Little Richard band.
GROSS: (Laughter).
BOWIE: I most likely additionally wished to be Black at that specific time as nicely (laughter). And so I acquired my father to assist me out with the saxophone. And we purchased it over, like, a two-year interval. We had one thing in Britain then referred to as the hire-purchase system, or HP. And I purchased it on HP, which is like, you pay two and sixpence every week.
GROSS: Oh, shopping for it on time?
BOWIE: Yeah, over, like, a thousand years. So on the finish it prices you perhaps twice as a lot as in the event you might have afforded money (laughter).
GROSS: Proper.
BOWIE: And I began enjoying round with native rock bands, , with the alto. After which, in a nutshell, any individual fell unwell one evening, the lead singer of one of many bands. And so they knew I might sing, so that they requested me if I’d stand in. And I fairly loved it, truly, I have to say, at 14. It was an actual journey, , to have women wave at you and smile and all the things simply since you opened your mouth and sang. And – however actually, I assume – however, no, I actually wished to do, greater than the rest, up till I used to be round 16, 17, was write musicals.
GROSS: Was write music?
BOWIE: Musicals.
GROSS: Oh, musicals.
BOWIE: I actually wished to put in writing musicals. That is what I wished to do greater than the rest. And it type of – as a result of I appreciated rock music, I type of moved into that sphere, someway considering that someplace alongside the road, I might have the ability to put the 2 collectively. And I suppose I very practically did with the Ziggy character. However I had such quick consideration span and acquired disinterested so shortly after I created some type of undertaking that I wished to maneuver on. And I by no means actually acquired the e book collectively for the factor. So I had all of the songs and the characters, however by the point we might gotten it on the street and I might been doing it for 18 months, oh, God, I could not wait to maneuver on to one thing else.
GROSS: So if you say you wished to put in writing musicals, did you wish to write, like, Rodgers and Hart type of musicals or “Hair?” I imply, what was…
BOWIE: No, that was my level.
GROSS: Yeah.
BOWIE: No, my level was I wished to rewrite how rock music was perceived.
GROSS: Oh, I see. Yeah, proper.
BOWIE: And I assumed that I might do some type of automobile involving rock musicals…
GROSS: Proper.
BOWIE: …And presenting rock and characters and storyline in a totally totally different style.
GROSS: So was singing one thing you began doing to return – in order that you would try this type of theater?
BOWIE: It was – nicely, it was the conception. I imply, God, I’d like to have handed it onto any individual else, and I assume Ziggy would have been the right automobile to have accomplished with. I do not know why, to at the present time, I did not discover another child, after I might accomplished it for like six months, and mentioned, right here you might be. Put the wig on, and ship him out and do the gigs, ? I imply, it will have been a lot the perfect factor to do. After which I might have moved on faster to one thing else. However that comes again to what I used to be saying. I wanted to sing as a result of no one else was singing my songs.
GROSS: Proper.
BOWIE: So I needed to do it myself.
GROSS: You had been briefly in a mime group earlier than…
BOWIE: Sure, the Lindsay Kemp Mime Firm.
GROSS: Yeah, earlier than turning into a solo musician.
BOWIE: Yeah. Nicely, truly all of it type of ran – I tended to be – I gave the impression to be type of concerned in so many issues all on the identical time, which remains to be how I type of function immediately. I simply – I can not hold my fingers out of any pies.
GROSS: Nicely, are there issues that you simply realized or turned conscious of by that mime group that you simply mentioned, yeah, I actually like that. I’ll work with that in my very own performances?
BOWIE: I feel all the things that I realized about stagecraft and carrying by – making a by level for a theatrical gadget. I feel Lindsay Kemp actually launched me to the work of Jean Genet. And thru that, I type of stored reeducating myself about different prose writers and poets. He instigated – he opened an terrible lot of doorways for me when it comes to a brand new strategy to what I might do. I might by no means have accomplished what I did with out being concerned with Lindsay Kemp’s firm.
GROSS: Whereas we’re with reference to mime…
BOWIE: Yeah.
GROSS: I’ve to say that within the “Ziggy” film, you do do these fingers strolling throughout the glass wall factor.
(LAUGHTER)
BOWIE: I do know. That is my proudest second of the Ziggy Stardust film.

(LAUGHTER)
BOWIE: I do know. It is so totally appalled over right here.
GROSS: (Laughter).
BOWIE: , we did not know that in England as a result of we find it irresistible over there.
(LAUGHTER)
BOWIE: And it broke our hearts once we came visiting right here and realized that mimes had been type of tantamount to some type of creative criminals.
GROSS: As a result of rock ‘n’ roll began as a youth music, all people all the time puzzled, nicely, will rock ‘n’ roll proceed to reside? And what in regards to the artists themselves? What about once they move 30? What about once they move 40 or once they move 50? Is that a difficulty for you? Do you’re feeling like you will have satisfactorily discovered a method to be a person in his mid-50s enjoying your music with out feeling like what you are enjoying is – what I am saying – that…
BOWIE: Nicely…
GROSS: …You are enjoying music…
BOWIE: I feel I do. Yeah.
GROSS: …That speaks to who you might be and the place you at the moment are.
BOWIE: Having not likely written any generational songs – I feel perhaps two or three of the songs that I’ve ever written have any bearing on the age of the listener. My stuff tends to be way more involved with the religious and with topics like isolation and being depressing. So I feel that kind of touches on actually any age group. So in my phrases, they’re simply songs. The automobile for these songs is a music that did certainly begin as youth tradition music. But it surely has aged nicely in itself. No, it is simply what I do. I imply, I would not know how you can write and play some other type of music, frankly.
GROSS: David Bowie, thanks a lot for speaking with us.
BOWIE: My pleasure.

You bought your head all twisted up. But when I might solely make you care – oh, no, love. You are not alone, it doesn’t matter what or who you’ve got been, irrespective of when or the place you’ve got seen. All of the knives appear to lacerate your mind. I’ve had my share.
