#art, #music, «1973» by Bodo

This was a hell of a year for Bodo Vespaciano… In 1973:

January: U.S. President Richard Nixon announces the suspension of offensive action in North Vietnam…

March: In «Northern» Ireland the people lose in a referendum and they stay as part of the UK…

April: We get the first handheld mobile phone call made by Martin Cooper of Motorola in New York City…

May: Now for science-fiction, Skylab, the United States’ first space station, is launched…

June: The Greek governing junta abolishes the monarchy and Greece becomes a republic…

July: The Bahamas gains full independence…

August: After the Norrmalmstorg robbery, we get the origins of the famous Stockholm syndrome…

September: Freedom from possible communism comes to Chile with the suicide of Allende and the saving grace of Augusto Pinochet…

October: Yom Kippur war begins after Israel is attacked by her many enemies, who still are her enemies and who still wish to destroy the only democratic state in the Middle East…

November: The United States Senate votes 92–3 to confirm Gerald Ford as Vice President of the United States…

December: President of the Spanish government Luis Carrero Blanco is assassinated in Madrid by ETA terrorists…

So that was 1973, and now for what I thought of 1973…
