But its potential as a music venue was put to the test in back in July when the British electronic duo The Chemical Brothers played there as the headliners of the Hard SF Festival.

To lead the charge, the building’s owners have hired Audrey Joseph, vice chair on the San Francisco Entertainment Commission and a veteran club promoter responsible for running legendary dance clubs such as Club Townsend and the Mezzanine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I recently spoke with Joseph about her plans for the new venue, her history and the state of San Francisco Night life today, and as you’ll see, she had a lot to say on those matters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>How did you get involved with Drill Court?\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I saw the place before Kink.com owner Peter Acworth put a nickel into it and I thought it was pretty amazing. As Peter was fixing it up, I kept telling him, “I wanna do a gig here. I wanna do a gig here.” And finally he relented and he let me do one during the Pride before last. I did “Pride at the Armory: Prisoner of Love,” which was controversial because it had “prisoner” in the name. But it was an amazing event; I did it as a Club Universe reunion and we packed the house — there were 3,800 people there. Peter was amazed by the event as well and soon afterward I became a consultant for him on developing the space. But around then I got really sick — I got cancer — and I just dropped out of everything and went through 18 weeks of chemo. During this, Peter comes to me and says “We really need you to come in and talk to us.” I was still on chemo and I went in to talk to them, and they asked me to come work for them. I was going to sell my business anyway and I was in love with the space; it could be my girlfriend. So then I just started spending Peter’s money like crazy developing the space, adding a coat check, bathrooms, production office, service kitchen… I just went to town.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>What are your plans for this new venue?\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s an event space and it’s probably the only event space of its type in the city; the closest to it might be Fort Mason. It’s a 40,000-square-foot space with an 80-foot dome, and we expect to do a lot of fabulous events there: concerts, dances, corporate parties, whatever. It’s one of those blank palettes that event planners can just get creative with.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10917675\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/08/drillcourt_e-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"Another view of Drill Court\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-10917675\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/08/drillcourt_e-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/08/drillcourt_e-400x266.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/08/drillcourt_e-960x639.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/08/drillcourt_e.jpg 1030w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Another view of Drill Court \u003ccite>(Courtesy: Armorystudios.com)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>What kind of events do you have in the works?\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is off the top of my head, but we have a booked a lot of corporate Christmas parties and a beer festival in November. We are also going to set up a haunted house that will be running for half of October, Oct. 14 through Halloween, and we are going to have two Halloween parties. And we are also in talks with Goldenvoice and Live Nation about doing some gigs. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>You’re a veteran with decades of experience in promoting clubs. How do you feel about booking a venue this large?\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I owned Club Townsend, a 20,000-square-foot venue on Townsend Street, for a decade. It was the Studio 54 of the west coast and we used to bring 3,000 people through the door on any given night. I also produced main stage at San Francisco Pride and the dance stage for Folsom Street Fair for a long time. I helped build the Mezzanine, which is still in existence today. Let’s put it this way: cocktail parties for ten people I’m not so good at. Give me 100,000 people and I’m great. I’m a size queen; I can do big much better than I can do little.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>You used to work with \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sylvester_(singer)\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sylvester\u003c/a>, AKA The Queen of Disco. How did you come into that job?\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He’s the reason I’m here. I lived in New York and I was in a bad fire; I almost died. So I took a year off work and began traveling all over the country to see all of my friends. When I got here [to San Francisco], Patrick Cowley, Sylvester’s songwriter and producer, had passed away three days after I arrived; he was an early AIDS victim. After we buried him, I said, “Okay, I’m leaving!” And Sylvester said, “Where do you think you’re going? You’re not going anywhere; we have to put out Patrick’s music.” So I stayed for one song, “Do Ya Wanna Funk,” but then we went on to put out records like “Don’t Stop” and “All I Need.” Two years later I was like, “I guess I should find a place to live and find a bed.” It’s hard not to fall in love with this city, that’s for sure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10917676\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 698px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/08/Audrey-Joseph.jpg\" alt=\"Joseph being sworn in once again to the San Francisco Entertainment Commission in 2015\" width=\"698\" height=\"400\" class=\"size-full wp-image-10917676\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/08/Audrey-Joseph.jpg 698w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/08/Audrey-Joseph-400x229.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 698px) 100vw, 698px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Joseph being sworn in once again to the San Francisco Entertainment Commission in 2015 \u003ccite>(Courtesy: Audrey Joseph)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Being on the SF Entertainment Commission, how do you see the local club scene?\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I think the city has come a long way. A dozen years ago, police and city officials would call entertainment an attractive nuisance and they would blame it for anything that went wrong. Today, we did an economic impact study that showed that $4.2 billion is brought into the city between the hours of 9pm and 5am — the other 9 to 5. It also showed that there were 48,000 jobs in the entertainment industry and it paid about $55 million in payroll taxes. Also, we recently did a study on daytime events and found they brought $1.5 billion to the city. So, entertainment is an economic driver in a city whose number 1 industry is tourism. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition, over the last few years, there’s been about 200 and change tech companies that have come into the city whose employees are the millennials. If you want to service your population, then you have to give them what they need, and I’m not necessarily talking about Whole Foods. You’ve got to give them entertainment because that’s what these young people do until they stopped being young. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I think the city recognized that entertainment is a thriving and important aspect of the general economy. Since that time, the city has instituted lots of policies that protect nightlife, such as legacy clubs. Also, Supervisor London Breed’s legislation passed that states that encroaching housing developments cannot negatively impact local entertainment. Entertainment in the city is valued and is even doing studies on nighttime public transportation to not only service those going out, but the people who work in these venues. The city is now in real support of entertainment. \u003c/p>\n\n",

As Peter was fixing it up, I kept telling him, “I wanna do a gig here. I wanna do a gig here.” And finally he relented and he let me do one during the Pride before last. I did “Pride at the Armory: Prisoner of Love,” which was controversial because it had “prisoner” in the name. But it was an amazing event; I did it as a Club Universe reunion and we packed the house — there were 3,800 people there. Peter was amazed by the event as well and soon afterward I became a consultant for him on developing the space. But around then I got really sick — I got cancer — and I just dropped out of everything and went through 18 weeks of chemo. During this, Peter comes to me and says “We really need you to come in and talk to us.” I was still on chemo and I went in to talk to them, and they asked me to come work for them. I was going to sell my business anyway and I was in love with the space; it could be my girlfriend. So then I just started spending Peter’s money like crazy developing the space, adding a coat check, bathrooms, production office, service kitchen… I just went to town.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>What are your plans for this new venue?\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s an event space and it’s probably the only event space of its type in the city; the closest to it might be Fort Mason. It’s a 40,000-square-foot space with an 80-foot dome, and we expect to do a lot of fabulous events there: concerts, dances, corporate parties, whatever. It’s one of those blank palettes that event planners can just get creative with.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10917675\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/08/drillcourt_e-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"Another view of Drill Court\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-10917675\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/08/drillcourt_e-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/08/drillcourt_e-400x266.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/08/drillcourt_e-960x639.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/08/drillcourt_e.jpg 1030w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Another view of Drill Court \u003ccite>(Courtesy: Armorystudios.com)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>What kind of events do you have in the works?\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is off the top of my head, but we have a booked a lot of corporate Christmas parties and a beer festival in November. We are also going to set up a haunted house that will be running for half of October, Oct. 14 through Halloween, and we are going to have two Halloween parties. And we are also in talks with Goldenvoice and Live Nation about doing some gigs. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>You’re a veteran with decades of experience in promoting clubs. How do you feel about booking a venue this large?\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I owned Club Townsend, a 20,000-square-foot venue on Townsend Street, for a decade. It was the Studio 54 of the west coast and we used to bring 3,000 people through the door on any given night. I also produced main stage at San Francisco Pride and the dance stage for Folsom Street Fair for a long time. I helped build the Mezzanine, which is still in existence today. Let’s put it this way: cocktail parties for ten people I’m not so good at. Give me 100,000 people and I’m great. I’m a size queen; I can do big much better than I can do little.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>You used to work with \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sylvester_(singer)\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sylvester\u003c/a>, AKA The Queen of Disco. How did you come into that job?\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He’s the reason I’m here. I lived in New York and I was in a bad fire; I almost died. So I took a year off work and began traveling all over the country to see all of my friends. When I got here [to San Francisco], Patrick Cowley, Sylvester’s songwriter and producer, had passed away three days after I arrived; he was an early AIDS victim. After we buried him, I said, “Okay, I’m leaving!” And Sylvester said, “Where do you think you’re going? You’re not going anywhere; we have to put out Patrick’s music.” So I stayed for one song, “Do Ya Wanna Funk,” but then we went on to put out records like “Don’t Stop” and “All I Need.” Two years later I was like, “I guess I should find a place to live and find a bed.” It’s hard not to fall in love with this city, that’s for sure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10917676\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 698px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/08/Audrey-Joseph.jpg\" alt=\"Joseph being sworn in once again to the San Francisco Entertainment Commission in 2015\" width=\"698\" height=\"400\" class=\"size-full wp-image-10917676\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/08/Audrey-Joseph.jpg 698w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/08/Audrey-Joseph-400x229.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 698px) 100vw, 698px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Joseph being sworn in once again to the San Francisco Entertainment Commission in 2015 \u003ccite>(Courtesy: Audrey Joseph)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Being on the SF Entertainment Commission, how do you see the local club scene?\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I think the city has come a long way. A dozen years ago, police and city officials would call entertainment an attractive nuisance and they would blame it for anything that went wrong. Today, we did an economic impact study that showed that $4.2 billion is brought into the city between the hours of 9pm and 5am — the other 9 to 5. It also showed that there were 48,000 jobs in the entertainment industry and it paid about $55 million in payroll taxes. Also, we recently did a study on daytime events and found they brought $1.5 billion to the city. So, entertainment is an economic driver in a city whose number 1 industry is tourism. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition, over the last few years, there’s been about 200 and change tech companies that have come into the city whose employees are the millennials. If you want to service your population, then you have to give them what they need, and I’m not necessarily talking about Whole Foods. You’ve got to give them entertainment because that’s what these young people do until they stopped being young. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Since that time, the city has instituted lots of policies that protect nightlife, such as legacy clubs. Also, Supervisor London Breed’s legislation passed that states that encroaching housing developments cannot negatively impact local entertainment. Entertainment in the city is valued and is even doing studies on nighttime public transportation to not only service those going out, but the people who work in these venues. The city is now in real support of entertainment. \u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

For each stage of Bowie’s music career -- starting from his first garage groups in the late ‘60s all the way through to present day -- Brooker has been wearing recreations of Bowie’s wild and constantly changing wardrobe, following an approximation of Bowie's diet (red peppers and milk) and even moving to areas around England that Bowie lived in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EeCMr_x06ts\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s a little hard to believe that such an experiment exists or is needed, but he’s been commissioned to write an account of his research, so that means somebody wants to know. Then again, who wouldn’t want to know what it’s like to be the guy that created Ziggy Stardust?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There’s no debate: Bowie is one of the greatest songwriters of the 20th century. So great that, in 1997, he sold “Bowie bonds” to those who wanted to profit from his music. (When he went public with his publishing royalties that year, he made $50 million.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He’s also married to the model Iman, continues to make great music and doesn’t need to talk to the press to sell his albums. But it hasn’t always been easy for Bowie; there have been quite a few moments in his life that he probably doesn’t wish on his worst enemies. Here are some of them that Prof. Brooker should consider before taking on a task as mammoth as living as Bowie:\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>1.

He was not born this way. When he was 14, he was in a fight with his friend George Underwood over a girl and Underwood was so mad at Bowie (then David Jones) he punched him in the face, right in his left eye. Underwood sliced Bowie's peeper, possibly with a ring he was wearing, and Bowie's injury was so bad that doctors thought he would be blind in that eye. After being hospitalized for four months and undergoing a series of operations, Bowie’s eyesight was saved but his pupil is permanently dilated and he has depth perception issues. As for Underwood, he's still friends with Bowie and even designed the covers of Bowie's earliest albums.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>2.

Walker/Getty Images for DKMS)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>In 1972, while being interviewed for an article in \u003cem>Melody Maker\u003c/em>, Bowie admitted to the reporter that he was gay. He was just starting to dress as “Ziggy Stardust” and the revelation -- “I’m gay and always have been, even when I was David Jones” -- brought him a lot of media attention. Laws banning homosexuality in England had been reformed just five years before and Bowie’s coming out was socially equivalent to Neil Armstrong walking on the moon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Though the news helped him reach star status in England, when he toured the United States for the \u003cem>Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust\u003c/em>, he played to several half-filled theaters. Americans had gotten word of Bowie’s revelation and, except for a bunch of cool music lovers on the coasts, didn’t want to have anything to do with him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 1976, Bowie was still standing by his declaration that he was “bisexual” and that it was \"the best thing that ever happened\" to him (around this time he had a relationship with Mick Jagger, according to ex-wife Angie Bowie). But by 1983, Bowie was hoping to take the U.S. by storm with his album \u003ci>Let's Dance\u003c/i> and started backtracking on his claims. In an interview with \u003ci>Rolling Stone\u003c/i> that same year, he stated that publicly declaring his bisexuality was \"the biggest mistake [he] ever made\" and that he \"was always a closet heterosexual.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a 2002 interview with \u003ci>Blender\u003c/i>, he was asked whether or not his coming out was still his biggest mistake. \"I don't think it was a mistake in Europe, but it was a lot tougher in America,\" later adding \"I felt that bisexuality became my headline over here for so long. America is a very puritanical place, and I think it stood in the way of so much I wanted to do.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>3. He did a scary amount of cocaine\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k2yLbxW4k-w\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the mid '70s, Bowie had a new persona: The Thin White Duke. It was an apt description of his look at that time, since he wore a lot of regal, immaculately tailored suits and was emaciated from his extreme cocaine habit (watch the video above for lots of fidgeting and sniffing). Bowie was in the studio around the clock, cranking out hit after hit — he wrote \"Fame\" in 45 minutes during this time — \u003ca href=\"http://nypost.com/2014/11/15/mountains-of-cocaine-played-a-crucial-role-in-bowies-success/\" target=\"_blank\">and booger sugar fueled a lot of those longer sessions\u003c/a>. He also did a lot of crazy stuff that someone with a drug problem would do, the best example being the time he, with \u003ca href=\"http://dangerousminds.net/comments/mysterious_white_witch_who_exorcised_david_bowie\" target=\"_blank\">help from a white witch\u003c/a>, tried exorcising his pool of demons while high on blow.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He moved to Switzerland in 1976, where he supposedly dumped his habit and concentrated on other pursuits like painting. He would later tell producer Nile Rodgers that he doesn't remember entire years of his life during his drug days.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>(Side note: Brooker has said that for his research, he won't be doing the heavy amount of cocaine that Bowie did.

For each stage of Bowie’s music career -- starting from his first garage groups in the late ‘60s all the way through to present day -- Brooker has been wearing recreations of Bowie’s wild and constantly changing wardrobe, following an approximation of Bowie's diet (red peppers and milk) and even moving to areas around England that Bowie lived in.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/EeCMr_x06ts'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/EeCMr_x06ts'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>It’s a little hard to believe that such an experiment exists or is needed, but he’s been commissioned to write an account of his research, so that means somebody wants to know. Then again, who wouldn’t want to know what it’s like to be the guy that created Ziggy Stardust?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There’s no debate: Bowie is one of the greatest songwriters of the 20th century. So great that, in 1997, he sold “Bowie bonds” to those who wanted to profit from his music. (When he went public with his publishing royalties that year, he made $50 million.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He’s also married to the model Iman, continues to make great music and doesn’t need to talk to the press to sell his albums. But it hasn’t always been easy for Bowie; there have been quite a few moments in his life that he probably doesn’t wish on his worst enemies. Here are some of them that Prof. Brooker should consider before taking on a task as mammoth as living as Bowie:\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>1.

He was not born this way. When he was 14, he was in a fight with his friend George Underwood over a girl and Underwood was so mad at Bowie (then David Jones) he punched him in the face, right in his left eye. Underwood sliced Bowie's peeper, possibly with a ring he was wearing, and Bowie's injury was so bad that doctors thought he would be blind in that eye. After being hospitalized for four months and undergoing a series of operations, Bowie’s eyesight was saved but his pupil is permanently dilated and he has depth perception issues. As for Underwood, he's still friends with Bowie and even designed the covers of Bowie's earliest albums.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>2.

He was just starting to dress as “Ziggy Stardust” and the revelation -- “I’m gay and always have been, even when I was David Jones” -- brought him a lot of media attention. Laws banning homosexuality in England had been reformed just five years before and Bowie’s coming out was socially equivalent to Neil Armstrong walking on the moon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Americans had gotten word of Bowie’s revelation and, except for a bunch of cool music lovers on the coasts, didn’t want to have anything to do with him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 1976, Bowie was still standing by his declaration that he was “bisexual” and that it was \"the best thing that ever happened\" to him (around this time he had a relationship with Mick Jagger, according to ex-wife Angie Bowie). But by 1983, Bowie was hoping to take the U.S. by storm with his album \u003ci>Let's Dance\u003c/i> and started backtracking on his claims. In an interview with \u003ci>Rolling Stone\u003c/i> that same year, he stated that publicly declaring his bisexuality was \"the biggest mistake [he] ever made\" and that he \"was always a closet heterosexual.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a 2002 interview with \u003ci>Blender\u003c/i>, he was asked whether or not his coming out was still his biggest mistake. \"I don't think it was a mistake in Europe, but it was a lot tougher in America,\" later adding \"I felt that bisexuality became my headline over here for so long. America is a very puritanical place, and I think it stood in the way of so much I wanted to do.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>3.

It was an apt description of his look at that time, since he wore a lot of regal, immaculately tailored suits and was emaciated from his extreme cocaine habit (watch the video above for lots of fidgeting and sniffing). Bowie was in the studio around the clock, cranking out hit after hit — he wrote \"Fame\" in 45 minutes during this time — \u003ca href=\"http://nypost.com/2014/11/15/mountains-of-cocaine-played-a-crucial-role-in-bowies-success/\" target=\"_blank\">and booger sugar fueled a lot of those longer sessions\u003c/a>. He also did a lot of crazy stuff that someone with a drug problem would do, the best example being the time he, with \u003ca href=\"http://dangerousminds.net/comments/mysterious_white_witch_who_exorcised_david_bowie\" target=\"_blank\">help from a white witch\u003c/a>, tried exorcising his pool of demons while high on blow.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He moved to Switzerland in 1976, where he supposedly dumped his habit and concentrated on other pursuits like painting. He would later tell producer Nile Rodgers that he doesn't remember entire years of his life during his drug days.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>(Side note: Brooker has said that for his research, he won't be doing the heavy amount of cocaine that Bowie did. Not only is it unhealthy, but he also couldn't afford such a habit on an academic's salary, according to the \u003cem>Guardian\u003c/em>.

He was my cameraman for \u003cem>Pump It Up\u003c/em>! You may have noticed that Gary has been reluctant to address N.W.A.’s misogyny and Dre’s attack on me in interviews. I think a huge reason that Gary doesn’t want to address it is because then he’d have to explain his part in history. He’s obviously uncomfortable for a reason.\n\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>There you have it: F.

I didn’t want to see a depiction of me getting beat up, just like I didn’t want to see a depiction of Dre beating up Michel’le, his one-time girlfriend who \u003ca href=\"http://jezebel.com/dr-dres-ex-has-an-idea-why-his-abusive-past-didnt-make-1724644896\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">recently summed up their relationship this way\u003c/a>: “I was just a quiet girlfriend who got beat on and told to sit down and shut up.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But what should have been addressed is that it occurred. \u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Dre’s attack on Barnes came after an interview segment aired on \u003cem>Pump it Up\u003c/em>, the show Barnes hosted, which was edited to include inflammatory comments by Ice Cube to the remaining members of N.W.A. Barnes has long explained that she had nothing to do with the editing, but today, she goes on to reveal that a certain key player was involved:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>I was a pawn in the game. I was in it, but so was a true opportunist: the director of \u003cem>Straight Outta Compton\u003c/em>, F. Gary Gray.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s right. F. Gary Gray, the man whose film made $60 million last weekend as it erased my attack from history, was also behind the camera to film the moment that launched that very attack. He was my cameraman for \u003cem>Pump It Up\u003c/em>! You may have noticed that Gary has been reluctant to address N.W.A.’s misogyny and Dre’s attack on me in interviews. I think a huge reason that Gary doesn’t want to address it is because then he’d have to explain his part in history. He’s obviously uncomfortable for a reason.\n\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>There you have it: F. Gary Gray was Dee Barnes’ cameraman for the interview that incited Dr. Dre to violently attack an innocent woman, and F. Gary Gray is the director of the film that eliminates this incident from the story.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
