Oh better WAIT FOR IT TO DRY and then LIE TO THE REPAIR GUY
Nah, it looks real neatFor some reason I always like pictures where his glasses are blocking his eyes. Is that weird?
In honor of Ziggy Stardust’s 40th anniversary, here’s a fine clip of the first extant performance of “Suffragette City.” A couple of things to note:
1) This is only the second-ever Ziggy and the Spiders show, from Imperial College, London, on 12 February 1972 (French TV filmed this, I believe).
2) The audience had literally never heard “Suffragette City” before. It had yet to be released on album, and in fact the band had only recorded it the previous week.
3) Brian May and Roger Taylor are in the audience. Afterward, May tries to get the roadies to tell him how Ronson is getting his guitar sound.
4) It rocks, naturally.

Her limbs are held together with air and that’s how she moves like that.
