What's Ziggy? Ziggy, I wanted...
I wanted to define the archetype
"Messiah Rock star." That's all I wanted to do, and I used the trappings
of Kabuki theater, mime technique,
and fringe New York music. ♪ Love, love me do ♪ ♪ You know I love you ♪ ♪ I'll always be true ♪ ♪ So please ♪ ♪ Love me do ♪ ♪ Loves to be loved ♪ Ziggy was for
me a very simplistic thing: What it seemed to
be, an alien rock star, but other people reread him and contributed more
information about Ziggy than I'd put into him

I wanted to define
00:00:05.334 --> 00:00:08.335
the archetype
"Messiah Rock star."
00:00:08.037 --> 00:00:10.271
That's all I wanted to do,
00:00:10.306 --> 00:00:13.274
and I used the trappings
of Kabuki theater,
00:00:13.309 --> 00:00:16.541
mime technique,
and fringe New York music.

Ziggy was for
me a very simplistic thing:
00:00:39.731 --> 00:00:42.237
What it seemed to
be, an alien rock star,
00:00:42.272 --> 00:00:45.003
but other people reread him
00:00:45.997 --> 00:00:47.044
