Catching up on my LOGO

So after Queen at Wembly, LOGO was also showing Ziggy Stardust, which I of course recorded as well. I hadn't seen it before; I had only known of it.
I dig David Bowie and all... but for whatever reason I just don't "get" Ziggy. I can objectively appreciate the artistic aspect of the show, and I love the music -- but the trippy aspect of it all, I'm just not groking it. If anyone knows, am I missing something? Do I need to watch this in a dark room halfway through a bottle of wine? Do I need to read the Bowie historical biography to get Ziggy in context of this time in his career?
