Glam Rock and other oddities

I'm as straight as they come, but there is something curious about Glam-rock. Take for instance Lou Reed's album Transformer. The two cuts that have musical appeal though the lyrics are are hard to appreciate are "Vicious" and "Walk on the Wild Side." The next is David Bowie's masterpiece "Ziggy Stardust" and "Hang on to Yourself." I couldn't pass this next video up because it has been a recurring thought of someone doing "You Ain't Woman Enough To Take My Man" in drag. I found a video of it, and here it is.
