For tonight, let's listen to some Laurie Anderson. For those who don't know, she was an early experimenter in multimedia who used an NEA grant to invent her own instruments, show what could be done with some of the new technology, and create her masterwork, United States part I - IV. She also created some one of the early examples of music video with O Superman.
O Superman. O Judge. O Mom and Dad. Mom and Dad.

Hi. I'm not home right now. But if you want to leave a

Hello? This is your Mother. Are you there? Are you

Hello? Is anybody home? Well, you don't know me,
but I know you.
And I've got a message to give to you.
Here come the planes.
So you better get ready. Ready to go. You can come
as you are, but pay as you go. Pay as you go.
And I said: OK. Who is this really? And the voice said:
This is the hand, the hand that takes. This is the
hand, the hand that takes.
This is the hand, the hand that takes.
Here come the planes.
They're American planes. Made in America.
Smoking or non-smoking?
And the voice said: Neither snow nor rain nor gloom
of night shall stay these couriers from the swift
completion of their appointed rounds.
'Cause when love is gone, there's always justice.
And when justive is gone, there's always force.
And when force is gone, there's always Mom. Hi Mom!
So hold me, Mom, in your long arms. So hold me,

One of the enduring pieces from United States was a song inspired by a line from William S. Burroughs, "language is a virus from outer space". This version is from a 1984 concert video called Only The Brave. It's a good showing of her interest in multimedia.
Note: the unusual style of her singing leads to poorly formatted lyrics.
Paradise Is exactly like Where you are right now Only much much Better. I saw this guy on the train And he seemed to gave gotten stuck In one of those abstract trances. And he was going: "Ugh...Ugh...Ugh..." And Fred said: "I think he's in some kind of pain. I think it's a pain cry." And I said: "Pain cry? Then language is a virus." Language! It's a virus! Language! It's a virus! Well I was talking to a friend And I was saying: I wanted you. And I was looking for you. But I couldn't find you. I couldn't find you. And he said: Hey! Are you talking to me? Or are you just practicing For one of those performances of yours? Huh? Language! It's a virus! Language! It's a virus! He said: I had to write that letter to your mother. And I had to tell the judge that it was you.
And I had to sell the car and go to Florida. Because that's just my way of saying (It's a charm.) That I love you. And I (It's a job.) Had to call you at the crack of dawn (Why?) And list the times that I've been wrong. Cause that's just my way of saying That I'm sorry. (It's a job.) Language! It's a virus! Language! It's a virus! Paradise Is exactly like Where you are right now Only much much (It's a shipwreck,) Better. (It's a job.) You know? I don't believe there's such a thing as TV. I mean - They just keep showing you The same pictures over and over. And when they talk they just make sounds That more or less synch up With their lips. That's what I think! Language! It's a virus! Language! It's a virus! Language! It's a virus! Well I dreamed there was an island That rose up from the sea. And everybody on the island Was somebody from TV. And there was a beautiful view But nobody could see. Cause everybody on the island Was saying: Look at me! Look at me! Look at me! Look at me! Because they all lived on an
island That rose up from the sea. And everybody on the island Was somebody from TV. And there was a beautiful view But nobody could see. Cause everybody on the island Was saying: Look at me! Look at me! Look at me! Look at me! Look at me! Why? Paradise is exactly like Where you are right now Only much much better.

In 1982, she released her first regular, solo studio album. It's centerpiece was O, Superman(For Masinet) from United States, and also featured a number of new songs, largely dealing with the impact of technology on life, and the evolving of the language.
Video cuts off just before end of song, sorry...best I could find.
I met this guy - and he looked like might have
been a hat check clerk at an ice rink.
Which, in fact, he turned out to be. And I said:
Oh boy. Right again.
Let X=X. You know, it could be you.
It's a sky-blue sky. Satellites are out tonight.
Let X=X.
You know, I could write a book. And this book would
be thick enough to stun an ox. Cause I can see the
future and it's a place - about 70 miles east of
here. Where it's lighter. Linger on over here.
Got the time?.
I got this postcard. And it read, it said:
Dear Amigo - Dear Partner.
Listen, uh - I just want to say thanks. So...thanks.
Thanks for all the presents. Thanks for introducing
me to the Chief.
Thanks for putting on the feedbag. Thanks for going
all out.
Thanks for showing me your Swiss Army knife.
and uh -
Thanks for letting me autograph your cast.
Hug and kisses. XXXXOOOO.
Oh yeah, P.S.
I - feel - feel like - I am - in a burning building - and I
gotta go.
Cause I - I feel - feel like - I am - in a burning
building - and I gotta go.

Also on the album was the classic title song, which is oddly beautiful.
Coo coo it's cold outside. Coo coo it's cold outside. Ooo coo coo. Don't forget your mittens. Hey Pal! How do I get to town from here? And he said: Well just take a right where they're going to build that new shopping mall, go straight past where they're going to put in the freeway, take a left at what's going to be the new sports center, and keep going until you hit the place where they're thinking of building that drive-in bank. You can't miss it. And I said: This must be the place. Ooo coo coo. Golden cities. Golden towns. Golden cities. Golden towns. And long cars in long lines and great big signs and they all say: Hallelujah. Yodellayheehoo. Every man for himself. Ooo coo coo. Golden cities. Golden towns. Thanks for the ride. Big Science. Hallelujah. Big Science. Yodellayheehoo. You know. I think we should put some mountains here. Otherwise, what are all the characters going to fall off of? And what about stairs? Yodellayheehoo. Ooo coo coo. Here's a man who lives a life of danger. Everywhere he goes he
stays - a stranger. Howdy stranger. Mind if I smoke? And he said: Every man, every man for himself. Every man, every man for himself. All in favor say aye. Big Science. Hallelujah. Big Science. Yodellayheehoo. Hey Professor! Could you turn out the lights? Let's roll the film. Big Science. Hallelujah. Every man, every man for himself. Big Science. Hallelujah. Yodellayheehoo.

Her next studio album was much more"musical", and involved some big names in the music industry, such as Adrian Belew and Peter Gabriel. The album, Mister Hearbreak was her most successful in terms of sales.
This song is from that album, and the video is from the Home of the Brave concert that was mentioned earlier. Notice how fascinating and alive her face is.
You can dance. You can make me laugh. You've got x-ray eyes. You know how to sing. You're a diplomat. You've got it all. Everybody loves you. You can charm the birds out of the sky. but I, I've got one thing. You always know just what to say. And when to go. But I've got one thing. You can see in the dark. But I've got one thing: I loved you better. Last night I woke up. Saw this angel. He flew in my window. And he said: Girl, pretty proud of yourself, huh? And I looked around and said: Who me? And he said: The higher you fly, the faster you fall. He said: Send it up. Watch it rise. See it fall. Gravity's rainbow. Send it up. Watch it rise. See it fall. Gravity's angel. Why these mountains? Why this sky? This long road. This ugly train. Well he was an ugly guy. With an ugly face. An also ran in the human race. And even God got sad just looking at him. And at his funeral all his friends stood around looking said. But they were really thinking of all the ham and cheese sandwiches in the next room. And everybody
used to hang around him. And I know why. They said: There but for the grace of the angels go I. Why these mountains? Why this sky? Send it up. Watch it rise. See it fall. Gravity's rainbow. Send it up. Watch it rise. And fall. Gravity's angel. Well, we were just laying there. And this ghost of your other lover walked in. And stood there. Made of thin air. Full of desire. Look. Look. Look. You forgot to take your shirt. And there's your book. And there's your pen, sitting on the table. Why these mountains? Why this sky? This ong road? This empty room? Why these mountains? Why this sky? This long road. This empty room.

A great showcase of the strong musicianship from iMister Heartbreak and how technologically primitive video's where at the time:
Sun's coming up. Like a big bald head. Poking up over the grocery store. It's Sharkey's day. It's Sharkey's day today. Sharkey wakes up and Sharkey says: There was this man... And there was this road...And if only I could remember these dreams... I know they're trying to tell me...something. Ooooeee. Strange dreams.(Strange dreams). Oh yeah. And Sharkey says: I turn around, it's fear. I turn around aagain And it's love. Oh yeah. Strange dreams. And the little girls sing:Oooee Sharkey. And the manager says: Mr. Sharkey? He's not at his desk right now. Could I take a message? And the little girls sing:Oooeee Sharkey. He's Mister Heartbreak. They sing: Oooeee Sharkey. Yeah. He's Mister Heartbreak. And Sharkey says: All of nature talks to me. If I could just figure out what it was trying to tell me. Listen! Trees are swinging in the breeze. They're talking to me. Insects are rubbing their legs together. They're all talking. They're talking to me. And short animals- They're bucking up on their hind legs. Talking.
Talking to me. Hey! Look out! Bugs are crawling up my legs! You know? I'd rather see this on TV. Tones it down. And Sharkey says: I turn around, it's fear. I turn around again, and it's love. Nobody knows me. Nobody knows my name. And Sharkey says: All night long I think of those little planes up there. Flying around. UYou can't even see them. They're specks! And they're full of tiny people. Going places. And Sharkey says: You know? I bet they could all land on the head of a pin. And the little girls sing: Ooooeee. Sharkey! He's Mister Heartbreak. They sing: Oooeee. That Sharkey! He's a slow dance on the edge of the lake. He's a whole landscape gone to seed. He's gone wild! He's screeching tires on an oil slick at midnight on the road to Boston a long time ago. And Sharkey says: Lights! Camera! Action! TIMBER! At the beginning of the movie, they know they have to find each other. But they ride off in opposite directions. Sharkey says: I turn around, it's fear. I turn around again, and it's love. Nobody knows
me. Nobody knows my name. You know? They're growing mechanical trees. They grow to their full height. And then they chop themselves down. Sharkey says: All of life comes from some strange lagoon. It rises up, it bucks up to it's full height from a boggy swamp on a foggy night. It creeps into your house. It's life! It's life! I turn around, it's fear. I turn around again, and it's love. Nobody knows me. Nobody knows my name. Deep in the heart of darkest America. Home of the brave. Ha! Ha! Ha! You've already paid for this. Listen to my heart beat. And the little girls sing: Oooeee Sharkey. He's a slow dance on the edge of the lake. They sing:Ooooeeee. Sharkey. HEe's Mister Heartbreak. Paging Mr. Sharkey. White courtesy telephone please. And Sharkey says: I turn around, it's fear. I turn around again, and it's love. And the little girls sing:Ooooeee Sharkey. Yeah. On top of Old Smokey all covered with snow. That's where I wanna, that's where I'm gonna That's where I'm gonna go.

She did not release another studio album until 1989, and it marked where alot of us older fans kinda moved away from her. Strange Angels is by no means a bad album, but all her trademarks went by the wayside, and she wrote traditionally played and sung songs with kinda blatant lyrics.
Well I was down at the Zig Zag That's the Zig Zag Bar & Grill And everybody was talking at once and it was getting real shrill. And I've been around the block But I don't care I'm on a roll - I'm on a wild ride Cause the moon is full and look out baby - I'm at high tide. I've got a beautiful red dress And you'd look really good standing beside it.. I've got some beautiful new red shoes and they look so fine I've got a hundred and five fever and it's high tide. Well just the other day I won the lottery I mean lots of money I got so excited I ran into my place and i said: HEY! Is anybody home? Nobody answered but I guess that's not too weird Since I live alone. I've got a beautiful red dress And you'd look really good standing beside it.. Girls? We can take it And if we can't we're gonna fake it We're gonna save ourselves We're gonna make it And if we don't we're gonna take it We're gonna save ourselves Save ourselves Well they say women shouldn't be the president Cause we go crazy from time to time Well push m
y button baby here I come Yeah look out baby I'm at high tide I've got a beatiful red dress and you'd look really good standing beside it.. I've got a little jug of red sangria wine and we could take little sips from time to time I've got some bright red drop dead lips I've got a little red card and mechanical hips I've got a hundred and five fever!!! OK! OK! Hold it! I just want to say something. You know, for every dollar a man makes a woman makes 63 cents. Now, fifty years ago that was 62 cents. So, with that kind of luck, it'll be the year 3,888 before we make a buck. But hey, girls? We can take it And if we can't we're gonna fake it We're gonna save ourselves save ourselves (Yeah tell it to the judge) We're gonna make it And if we don't we're gonna take it We're gonna save ourselves save ourselves We've got a fever of a hundred and five and look baby It's high tide. Well I could just go on and on and on... But tonight I've got a headache

I've got a little jug of red sangria wine and we could take little sips from time to time I've got some bright red drop dead lips I've got a little red card and mechanical hips I've got a hundred and five fever!!! OK! OK! Hold it! I just want to say something. You know, for every dollar a man makes a woman makes 63 cents. Now, fifty years ago that was 62 cents. So, with that kind of luck, it'll be the year 3,888 before we make a buck. But hey, girls? We can take it And if we can't we're gonna fake it We're gonna save ourselves save ourselves (Yeah tell it to the judge) We're gonna make it And if we don't we're gonna take it We're gonna save ourselves save ourselves We've got a fever of a hundred and five and look baby It's high tide. Well I could just go on and on and on... But tonight I've got a headache

Well I walked up to the bar
I laid down my Platinum card
Then I ordered fifty long necks for my new friends
Well the barmaid passed them out
And before we chugged them down
I held mine up said, "Here's to us and then"
Well this blonde slid up to me
She said, "That was awful sweet"
And then I saw her boyfriend
As wide as he was tall
Well he broke up our hug
With a six foot, five inch shove
And I found myself slammed up
Against the wall
Why does everybody want
To kick my ass?
I'm just trying to have a little fun
For all the ones who can't
And just because I kiss the prettiest girls
And I drive my truck too fast
Why does everybody want
To kick my ass?
Well I've never been the type
To walk up and pick a fight
I've always been the kind to get along
I throw parties all the time
And there always on my dime
We drank and dance and smoke until the dawn
Well my style of stress relief
Sometimes disturbs the peace
The police show up
And cut donuts in my yard
And while the Zeppelin's playing loud
They run off my party crowd
They cuff my wrist
And throw me down so hard
Why does everybody want
To kick my ass?

And just because I kiss the prettiest girls
And I drive my truck too fast
Why does everybody wants
It seems like everybody wants
Why does everybody want
To kick my ass?
To kick my ass

After they depress me deeply I can turn to them again to be cheered up.
