In 1972, when he first hit the stage as Ziggy, decked out in makeup, dye job and psychedelic costume, the rock world was ready. Too much karma, too much good vibes, too much hippy dippy: audiences wanted decadence with a difference. Bowie was there...

After 18 months, the Grecian Formula myth is at last retired. "I say goody," says Ronald Reagan. "I think a little more gray is in there, which has stopped all those items that I dye my hair, which I never did." He is right. There is more gray in there. Whether it is the weight of leadership or nature belatedly catching up with him after 71 years is debatable. This morning the rest of him appears several decades younger...
