A Financial Times piece on Laurie Anderson. Following the previous post.
Her latest exhibition is taking place in New York.
She was asked to do a major retrospective but ended up creating a completely new show.
There are lots of interesting elements to this interview.
And a reminder of the track that first brought her to many people's attention.
I remember hearing this back in 1982 when it was first released.
This was written for Laurie by Lou Reed. I hadn't realised that it was the last song he wrote. Peter Gabriel's version here is a wonderful piece of music...
“You know me I like to dream a lot / Of what there is and what there’s not / But mainly I dream of you a lot / The power of the heart.”
