St. James Encyclopedia of Pop Culture: Glitter Rock Then one of the Dolls, Billy Murcia, died of a Quaalude overdose, and the band was eulogized in the music press for a time. Thus glitter rock and its accoutrements--the weird album covers, the high-resolution rock poster, the aping of the look of one's favorite singer--found great resonance with the teen generation. Glitter celebrated artifice and the soignée, and through it ran strong elements of camp. www.findarticles.com /g1epc/tov/2419100513/p1/article.jhtml   (973 words)

Pop Culture Gadabout Bowie and his band were channeling the take-no-prisoners sound of the New York Dolls (even down to the periodic doo-wop moves, not to mention a lyrical reference to late Dolls drummer Billy Murcia), and it was wondrous to hear.

I even enjoy Bowie's campy take on "Let's Spend the Night Together." And because I was raised in a home where Stop the World, I Want to Get Off was regularly played on the family weekend turntable, I've never been bothered by Bowie’s Anthony Newley emulation. oakhaus.blogspot.com /2004_02_01_oakhaus_archive.html   (8925 words)
