Jason Heller’s Strange Stars: David Bowie, Pop Music, and the Decade Sci-Fi Exploded

    Jason Heller examines how sci-fi crept into music in the seventies an beyond. From Hawkwind to disco. Many strange stars were born. The godfather of glam rock, David Bowie, painted a landscape where Major Tom trapped in space roamed in delusion in hopes of returning home. From that point, a cast of stars was born. Sc-fi inspired music has been lost adrift in a void of nostalgia.  Jason Heller takes us on an interstellar overdrive mission of discovery of the strange.
