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.

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.
