I decided to go with the \*Easy Living \*reference but I could have done a “Where are the Spiders?” line since he played with Bowie on all the Ziggy Stardust albums. ---

> [@Loach](#): > > I decided to go with the \*Easy Living \*reference but I could have done a “Where are the Spiders?” line since he played with Bowie on all the Ziggy Stardust albums. I hope it wasn’t just a weird coincidence. Palladia had the Ziggy Stardust concert movie on last night. A couple of things hit me. First, the film looked like it was filmed on a cheap Super 8 camera that had been kicked around for a few years. Second, now that Bowie has been and English gentleman for years its easy to forget how truly fucking bizarre he was. And lastly, Trevor Bolder was a damn good bass player and the Spiders were a hell of a band. When I was in Germany I did see Uriah Heep and Trevor on bass. Small hall, great show. ---
