interesting article...

amazingly, replace "Ziggy" with "Spiggy" and it's almost spot on

Maybe he would have fared even worse than that. Perhaps he would be the musical equivalent of Mickey Rourke in The Wrestler, living off his once popular name, bustling between low-rent jobs from "oldies" night at Butlins to package tours with Alvin Stardust and Mud â€“ see you at the Guildford Civic Hall in June! Or would Ziggy have spent his retirement from rock'n'roll by embracing the simple life?

discuss.

Great article - thanks Quiff.
Just the thought of a Ziggy ressurrection makes me all giddy.

Iain Forysthe and Jane Pollard, artists who recreate seminal moments in popular culture (and who did the last few Nick cave videos and a great Cramps recreation) recreated the last Ziggy gig a few years ago. Perhaps they could do the same for Spiggy...Info at iainandjane.com

Fairy nuff

But given what

has said about 'the G-word' he would have to swallow an awful lot of pride to play there now...
