By Graham White. Two kids learn about their parents' moments of Bowie-style rebellion.

By Graham White. In the wake of David Bowie's passing, Marc and Thom's parents reveal how Bowie's radical attitude once inspired dad's experiments with mascara.

By Graham White

In the wake of David Bowie's passing, and Tim Peake's spacewalk above the earth, two kids make some surprising discoveries about their parents less-than-defined identities. 

Dad tells how he 'did a Bowie' one night as an adolescent in a small west country town - and describes the ridicule and hostility he faced. 

Perhaps now is the moment when the children in turn have to consider the nature of their own identities, and changes.
A tale of two generations, and the meaning of Bowie.
