The quiz is behind us. I think we all learned something about Queens--and, maybe, about ourselves. Time to party. With Bjork? Yes, Bjork is in the Hall. The Great Hall of the New York Hall of Science, that is. We don't get Icelandic superstars everyday in Queens (and it's been a long time since the Beatles played Shea Stadium), so this is big news. Bjork chose the Great Hall for her science-themed Biophilia spectacle, complete with commentary by Richard Attenborough.
Well, that wacky, undulating, valle de verrespace (built for the 1964 Worlds Fair) sounds just about right for Bjork or maybe Devo (oh please, Hall of Science, please bring Devo), but it is not a likely candidate for the music venue Queens has needed for a long, long time. Tomorrow, I'll revisit Queens' punk and glam-rock legacy. And unveil a possible successor! In the meantime, here's Bjork from the Hall. Looks like science to me.
