| | Music Preview: David Bowie's creative force has stretched his fame a long way (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26) |
 | | At this point, David Bowie may be best remembered for the role he first developed on 1972's "The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars," a decidedly British rock opera steeped in fatalism, decadence and science-fiction imagery that somehow stalled, despite its now-iconic status, at No. 75 here in the States. |
 | | Unless, of course, you're David Bowie, whose career since "Fame" has seen him flirting with mainstream acceptance while making his home on the fringes of popular culture, where his legacy has fueled young kooks from Kurt Cobain and Trent Reznor to Moby and Beck. |
 | | And that was a hit for Nirvana, not Bowie, whose own original recording of the song predated his first taste of fame in the States. |
