New Mullet on Monday - David Bowie
Yes, it's about time that David Bowie was featured on New Mullet on Monday, his early '70s hairstyle having been called ...one of the first benchmark mullets of rock history. Bowie is featured in the book The Mullet: Hairstyle of the Gods, the Amazon.com review of which says, ...little did anyone know that David Bowie's Ziggy Stardust look would begin a mullet-mania which was destined to reach its pinnacle in the 1980's--anyone who was anyone in the world of rock music, sport and fashion wore a mullet of some kind and this book contains ample (damning) photographic proof of its popularity.
Thank you, David Bowie!
By the late '70s, Bowie's mullet had been tamed, but was still around. Here's the video for D.J., from the 1979 album Lodger.

Once the hairstyle of the rich and famous, now the mullet is relegated to the wrong side of the tracks, inhabited by criminals and the fashion-challenged. How times change.
Hey, great blog you've here! I DJ an alternative 80s program in Albany, NY - Stop by my blog some time and listen in if you dare! That's cool that you were in College Radio too, I'm the PD of my station :-) Want to trade links??
