The night I scared David Bowie

1974 I think it was. The Montreal Forum. And David Bowie was performing his Diamond Dogs show. There are two things I vividly remember about that show. The first is the mock spaceship that soared above the crowd as Bowie sang Space Oddity. A prop like that wasn’t only something I had never seen before, it was something that, for 1974, was damn cool.

THREAD: I got laid off from NYMag/Vulture after 14 years. The family lost 75% of income + medical. Now mzs.press bookstore, once a side project. is do-or-die for Judith & I. I feel weird telling you this because others are doing much worse. But if you could like or share this, we'd be so grateful!

CENTER: The cover of Cinema Her Way, a coffee table book by Marya E. Gates about female directors. On the cover is actress Michelle Rodriguez as the boxer heroine of Karyn Kusama's sports drama Girlfight, about a woman boxer. 
RIGHT David Hockney's painting collection The Arrival of Spring in Normandy, showing a painting of a verdant field. In the background of the field is green grass. in the upper foreground are the branches of a tree sprouting white, cottony buds.
