Jackie Deram's definitions

David Bowie

Among the most influential musicians of the century, Bowie has managed to stay at the top of the charts for more than thirty years largely due to his talent for modifying his persona with characters like 1972's Ziggy Stardust and The Thin White Duke. Emerging as a Mod out of Brixton, London at 19, he is best known for his role in the Glam movement of the early 1970s. Born David Robert Haywood Jones on January 8th, 1947, he changed his name in 1966 in order to avoid confusion with Monkees lead singer Davey Jones. Bowie has one perpetually dilated eye (which gives the appearance of two different colours) due to a schoolyard fight.

David Bowie was indeed the Nazz.

Monkees

One of the crappest crap bands ever that was made for TV.

Have you ever heard of the Monkees? That isn't Michael Nesmith's real hat!

Cheech-stache

A thick mustache that extends beyond either end of a person's lips and often curves slightly downward except when smiling. It is reminiscent to that of Burt Reynolds but was popularised by Cheech Marin of Cheech & Chong.

In Cheech & Chong's "Still Smokin'," the Dutch mistake Cheech for actor Burt Reynolds because of his cheech-stache, and Chong is similarly mistaken to be Dolly Parton.

Areaology

The worship of the all-encompassing Area, AKA David Bowie's crotch. A kind of pseudo-religious cult practise that involves repeatedly watching such films as 'The Man Who Fell to Earth' and 'Labyrinth' in which the Area stars. Areaologists believe that the Area is with them at all hours of the night and day and that its presence can be linked to the creation of the Earth and all its inhabitants.

Areaology is quickly becoming accepted throughout most English-speaking countries.

Freddie Mercury

Born Farookh Bulsara in Zanzibar on September 5th, 1946, Mercury was the lead singer of the legendary rock band Queen, said to be second in popularity and collectibility in the UK next to the Beatles. Known as the greatest frontman that ever lived, and a homosexual, he was among rock's first AIDS casualties. He died on November 24th, 1991, but is still remembered today by his serenading voice and powerful lyrics.

Freddie Mercury continues to be an inspiration to musicians everywhere despite his untimely death.

Jimmy Page

Jimmy Page can be summed up in one simple word: God.

The best word to describe Jimmy Page is 'God.'

Fabulous 5

80s band Duran Duran was popularly referred to as the 'Fab 5,' though today the term is commonly applied to American reality show phenomenon Queer Eye For the Straight Guy and it's five gay cast members whose goal it is to turn the homeliest straight guys into the most fabulous of metros.

Carson, Kyan, Ted, Thom and Jai make it a point to clean up the messes of their hetero-assignments and provide good, quality American entertainment all within the same hour.
