Cracked Actor

David Bowie wrote most of Aladdin Sane on the road during his first U.S. tour (he kicked the trek off with a show here in Cleveland at Music Hall on Sept. 22, 1972). Dubbed Cracked Actor, this tribute to the Thin White Duke includes a performance by the local band Vanity Crash and a photo exhibit by local photographer Anastasia Pantsios featuring her exclusive photos of Bowie’s concert at Music Hall. During his lecture, Thomas Mulready will discuss issues of mental health and schizophrenia that infused Aladdin Sane and most of Bowie's music through his lifetime. The event begins at 8 p.m. at CLE Urban Winery in Cleveland Heights and repeats at the same time tomorrow night at the Bop Stop.
