Year 1969 was anything but ordinary: A man on the moon, Woodstock, Prague Spring, Stonewall demonstrations … The world is changing very fast. It is not surprising that her first hit “Space Oddity” Bowie released just this year. Although this song is linked to cosmic themes, Bowie it deals with a new phenomenon, a new trend of thought and life, and it is “exploring inner space.” This phenomenon in his works then worked many artists and writers (Warhol, Ballard, Burroughs, Edie Sedgwick), describing the way that explore their imagination and draw inspiration.
