Das Chamäleon David Bowie erzählt auf <<The Rise And Fall Of Ziggy Stardust And The Spiders From Mars>> die Geschichte eines stereotypischen Rockstars. Durch Glamour-Klamotten, rot gefärbte Haare und viel Schminke schuf sich Bowie ein zweites Ich: Ziggy Stardust. -- Stardust wandert auf der Platte thematisch Song für Song durch die Phasen eines Rockstarlebens. Am 3. Juli 1973 beendete Bowie die Ziggy Stardust-Zeit. An einem Konzert in London verkündete er das Ende und löste die Band, welche in sein Vorhaben nicht eingeweiht war, auf. -- Bowie inspirierte mit seinem Werk nicht nur Bob Marley bei der Namensgebung seines Sohnes Ziggy Marley - auch Moby, die Smashing Pumpkins oder Marilyn Manson sehen ihr Arbeiten beeinflusst durch David Bowies Meisterwerk aus dem Jahre 1972. -- Ein Album, dass viel Interpretationsspielraum lässt und nicht zuletzt auch dadurch spannend bleibt.

In a Japanese prison camp on Java in 1942, two British officers, John Lawrence and Jack Celliers, encounter camp commander Yonoi and his sergeant Hara. Things had been going pretty well, until charismatic, rebellious Celliers arrived. Yonoi is a devotee of the samurai ideal; neither he nor Hara can understand the stoic way in which the British prisoners accept their situation of defeat. Lawrence speaks Japanese, and ceaselessly tries to mediate between the prisoners and their overseers, translating both the words and the values of the two races. Celliers' attitude, however, is more comprehensible to Yonoi. He and Celliers arrive at a sort of détente, based on an admiration for the other, but this eventually turns into a contest of wills as the camp's carefully nurtured equilibrium is destroyed
