Major Tom (David Bowie)
Montreal,
Canada
The Big O, oftwel het Olympisch Stadion van Montreal. De naam is ook vaak verbasterd als The Big Owe (vertaling: schuld) vanwege de astronomische kosten die gemaakt zijn voor de bouw in 1976. Dit futuristische complex doet me aan een ruimteschip dat net is geland op aarde. Als song erbij daarom gekozen voor Major Tom van David Bowie.

Ground Control to Major Tom
Ground Control to Major Tom
Take your protein pills and put your helmet on
Ground Control to Major Tom
Commencing countdown, engines on
Check ignition and may God's love be with you
Ten, Nine, Eight, Seven, Six, Five,
Four, Three, Two, One, Liftoff
This is Ground Control to Major Tom
You've really made the grade
And the papers want to know whose shirts you wear
Now it's time to leave the capsule if you dare
"This is Major Tom to Ground Control
I'm stepping through the door
And I'm floating in a most peculiar way
And the stars look very different today
For here
Am I sitting in a tin can
Far above the world
Planet Earth is blue
And there's nothing I can do
Though I'm past one hundred thousand miles
I'm feeling very still
And I think my spaceship knows which way to go
Tell my wife I love her very much she knows"
