Televised Tune: On the Tube This Week

Palladia will air D.A. Pennebaker’s The Rise And Fall Of Ziggy Stardust on Monday at 5PM EDT. The flick takes a look at David Bowie and crew in character, including more wardrobe changes than Fashion Week. But this doc shows Glam Bowie at his best – loud, rocking and freakishly thin.
