speaking of The Woman in the Body...

no, I haven't  actually read any further in the book mentioned in the previous entry--I keep checking out further fascinating monographs, or randomly taking bad cell-phone pictures of things that catch my eye as I shift great numbers of books on tall shelves in order to insure that there are no books on the lowest shelves, and that the distribution of books is equitable. I absolutely adore equitability.

At any rate, today I was shifting row upon row of PNs. And I opened up, at random --- well, I left the citation behind but it was the July/August 1980 Film Comment with Jack Nicholson as Jack Torrance on the cover. But I hadn't yet seen the cover when I, standing on a platform ladder, on a whim opened to:

R to L: Kitten Natividad and that country band from The Blues Brothers

 

I was eleven years old in 1980. And this does seem to grasp at a bit of that gossamer zeitgeist that permeated that confusing---yet simpler? I doubt it, actually---time.
