Laurie Anderson's clip and song fascinates me.

I'm still learning about the creative spirit behind this fascinating performance art. I certainly love (as a sociologist) the social, cultural and political commentary interwoven in the lyrics as well. There isn't a lot that I know about the woman, all I know is that her work certainly should bear recognition and contemplation (or perhaps from some contempt). I think her work certainly reflects important creation/art worth more than a second look. Given her credentials I thought Doodle Ace McDonkey might find her work interesting but then again he's probably already been here with his ears and eyes also. A small biography is found at all-music below.

There is, surely, some irony in sharing such a song electronically with her long mom arms, her internet arms. I've known a couple of fans so heard about it n it probably bored me at the time. She isn't 'the ledge' revvin up before a surf. But I found myself mesmerised this time. So ta for the personal prompt too. The song has no need for contempt unless her other stuff is crap, but doubt it. Jason Nelson would have interest as it is his artform. But she did seem to display a tasteful array of art tricks that she has learnt. it is a genre and I like trained eye cinematographic composition too.
cheers, maca.
Glad to be of service and there is much for me to learn about the medium also. I certainly like being immersed in it.
