It was originally inspired by David Bowie, and now that he's gone I can kinda do it as a tribute to his amazing career. I was very threatened . .. I felt very threatened when David Bowie came along, because it all changed. Music took second or third place to the appearance, and then theatrics came into Rock n Roll... The song was produced by Jack Richardson."Glamour Boy" was featured prominently in the 1998 Don McKellar film Last Night. more »
