Thank you very much Mike. This man is extraordinarily handsome, has a great musical taste and he's a genius. Can't blame Alex. In my country girls would call him "Papazote" xD
I also heard Ziggy Stardust as a teen in high school and it had the exact same impression on me. It's one of those records that makes you fall in love with music, even though I personally think that it's a tad bit overrated when compared to Bowie's other albums like Station to Station and Low.
