Once you get past all of the hair and science-fiction references, glam rock pretty much boils down to three things: sex, drugs and having sex while on drugs. Example: Local glam rockers Order of the Golden Mirror managed to squeeze a sex and drug reference into their name, namely “What are they doing with that mirror and how did it get so golden?” Well played, boys. With every gig, the Mirror seem to get bigger hair, more members and more Ziggy Stardust-esque makeup, all the while, the lead singer grabbing his groin enough times to make Michael Jackson blush—which is saying a lot, since I’m pretty sure there’s no more blood left in M.J.’s entire body. To all of those that say glam is dead, come see Order of the Golden Mirror for yourself. You’ll also find me there promoting my new glam-rock band, Vibrating Crackpipe.
