As we age, we all wonder what will happen to our work, whether writings, teachings, or even the personal creations of our model [train] worlds. Thank you.
Don't know that I even like the song. What does that matter? She could give me a terminal cancer diagnosis and so long as she sang it I'd simply love the music. In a world of, apparently, Taylor Swift, I'll pass on that. Why isn't C McL S the biggest star in the world today?
I always understood it as a robot's lament: we needed AI to finally tell us that all our fine technology would do nothing but secure our downfall. A lesson that Mary Shelly had already delivered anyway.
OK if this is a new "segment?" by Nonesuch, I get the nod to Criterion's Closet Picks and it's a good idea to do it with music BUT having the records in typical storage style (in a shelf) seems too difficult for the artist. The records should be sorta, maybe facing the artist so they can get a good view of the choices. Plus it would make more entertaining for the viewer. This a little stale...
I met her before her 1981 Seattle Volunteer Park show. She was setting up her own equipment. Such a nice open person. That show was amazing when the fighter jets flew over during O Superman. Magical coincidence.
I saw Dr. Atomic performed by San Francisco Opera. I remember having several Nonesuch vinyl lps in high school in the 1970s, Varèse, Stockhausen, Xenakis, Stravinsky, Penderecki. Laurie Anderson is an American treasure.
This song perfectly captivates the feelings of being the annoying, disruptive child in public settings like school when really all you feel is deep loneliness inside and desire to be seen by your parents at home
My favorite, of the ones I know of, has to be Ástor Piazzolla's 'Tango: Zero Hour' (1986). Really captures the melancholy and angst in Argentina - especially now, with the *Mileise* that Idi Amin-style clown is putting them through. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-V1HAoS4QnaM.html Thank you, Laurie, for he delightful walkthrough. All the Best!
