As for the origins of the bolt, Bowie said in a 1987 interview that he’d come up with “the flash thing on the face.” Asked what the item was intended to be, he answered “Lightning bolt. An electric kind of thing. Instead of, like, the flame of a lamp, I thought he [Aladdin Sane] would probably be cracked by lightning. Sort of an obvious-type thing, as he was sort of an electric boy” (David Bowie: Stardust Memories, by Kurt Loder for Rolling Stone.) #davidbowieforever #ziggystardust #aladdinsanebolt #sugarpineca (at Sugar Pine, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDWn7ywA3RiaObZMXPZShvw7UtaJBUiNO6gxaQ0/?igshid=11nufprz31kjl
