Coffee Break: Spiders and creepy crawlies
by Anna Reed
February 01, 2017

Today Jay Gabler stopped by to tell us about the latest Rock and Roll Book Club pick -- Woody Woodmansey's 'Spider from Mars: My Life with Bowie'.
Jay says: "With Mick Ronson on guitar and Trevor Bolder on bass, the Spiders from Mars would play a critical role in Bowie's evolution from a whimsical folk artist to a hard-hitting rock and pop force. Woodmansey doesn't bring a strong agenda to his book, but he does politely argue that the Spiders contributed significantly to Bowie's evolution during this period."
So for today's 9:30 Coffee Break, what songs about spiders and creepy crawlies do you want to hear?
