I'm old enough to remember when this song was a hit around the summer of '73 and I can distinctly remember the DJ saying that the song's lyrics refered to the Alice Cooper tour, maybe from the year before, around the time the song was written. Alice Cooper was the principal American entry into the Glitter-Glam movement and of course he wore his hair long, as most did at that time, and he sported some quite noticeable makeup as well.
I can't say for sure that the DJ's info was correct; maybe it was, maybe it wasn't But that's what I remember hearing.

One of my all time favourites. 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...
