“My wife and I went to see Laurie Anderson give

a lecture last week. She was very charming, very

insightful, and very funny. Topically it was all

over the place, going from “O Superman” taking

off into her deal with Warners, her time as the

first and last “Artist in Residence” at NASA (she

only produced a single poem after two years of

traveling to all the famed NASA locations), to

general art and technology. The guy in front of us had his head down the

entire time. We couldn’t tell if he was

concentrating or sleeping. When he started to

snore loudly we were able to figure it out.

It was Laurie’s husband, Lou Reed.” (via Popbitch)
