This week, I’m sending out a shout-out for my friend Norman Odam<\/strong>, aka the Legendary Stardust Cowboy<\/strong>. Apparently he needs some serious dental work he can’t really afford.<\/p>\n

He’s got a GoFundMe page<\/a> that explains exactly what he needs…<\/p>\n

My right salivary gland does not work. Therefore, I have dry-mouth, and most of my teeth have become bad.
\nI need root canals, crowns, and two teeth implants.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

$17,000.00 is what he needs right now, and he’s not exactly rolling in dough these days, so whatever you can donate would be wonderful.<\/p>\n

For those you unfamiliar with the Legendary Stardust Cowboy, he is a singer-songwriter who is considered one of the pioneers of the genre that came to be known as psychobilly in the 1960s.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In 1968, he wrote and recorded a song called “Paralyzed,” which featured T-Bone Burnett<\/strong> on drums. The song was picked up by a major label, Mercury Records<\/strong>, eventually entering the Billboard Top 200<\/strong>. His popularity prompted an appearance on NBC’s Rowan and Martin’s Laugh-in<\/strong> comedy television series.<\/p>\n

\"bowie-and-ledge\"<\/p>\n

David Bowie<\/strong> acknowledged that the Legendary Stardust Cowboy was a direct inspiration for the creation of Ziggy Stardust<\/strong>.
