Matrix #: SO-17093

Cultural Facts:

1. Media Narrative: This era turned Bowie into a global MTV figure, and the success created backlash from parts of his older audience who read it as “selling out,” even as new fans flooded in.

2. Scene Ecology: The title track’s guitar work was done by a then-young Stevie Ray Vaughan, a cross-scene moment that helped pull blues-rock attention into a pop blockbuster context.

3. Personal Struggle: Bowie later described heavy cocaine use and extreme paranoia in the mid-70s, a period that nearly derailed him physically and mentally before he rebuilt his life.
