"Very dangerous art can be made with a pencil." ....Incredible interview, full of insight and generosity to artists with an open mind. Thanks Laurie, and thanks to Louisiana Channel for the sharing of this wonderful content.
That's why I especially like her Stories From The Nerve Bible album. Just lay down, close my eyes and listen. You know, the way most albums are intended to be listened to. :)
This is soooooo amazing. She is. "It's poetry and art that are the engine." "Stay loose." "Let your own obsession rule your art." What brilliance. And generosity. "I am an artist because I want to be free." Yes. "Curiosity about being the world."
I'm so happy I came across these words you spoke, I'm 65 and I've listened to your words since my 20's, Thank you so much for you. I visit your music when I need to and sometimes it's taken long to return to you, although I do return. In my 20s you gave me inspiration to become who I am as an artist, you truly helped me become my self creatively, as I hear myself still through your conscious ways. Ha! I love that I feel validated by your words just now, I so needed to hear those. I love you and have never been to one of your concert's but it's the first reason I could make a bucket list. I'm about to do art again as I have not, and thanks so much for being you. Take care of yourself my friend.
I used to see her as a very weird artist. Now I'm 36 and it wasn't until recently that I started to understand her artistic ways. This interview - it's just great. Now I understand her even better! Thank you!
Can you believe I have only just discovered her?! I listened to O Superman this morning, I may well be feeling over emotional. It made me cry. Now listening to her incredible life story 💛
you are so lovely. i have known of you since BIG SCIENCE released but actually went to mills and so knew of your history. You are so radiant and lovely and natural. bless your heart
Laurie was a customer of my late grandmother's store on Canal Street in NYC back in the mid 70's to early 80's. She even asked if she could film an interview in the store and was granted although we never got to see the footage. lol
"I'm postulating that the function of art, and I include in this category creative work in science -- that is, creation in the widest sense -- is to put us in touch with what we know and don't know that we know. You can't tell anybody anything he doesn't know already." -- William S. Burroughs
I could watch Laurie's amazing face and movement for hours , Nice choice of glass for this IV , Unfortunately sounds like Lapel / Radio Mic was used which is a real shame. In a sitdown IV in a controlled environment like this, always go for a 416 / CS3 on a C stand sounds so, so much better and no cloths scuffing on the mic..
I really don't agree with her at 15:49, If you've ever been in the Frankfurt financial district, where all there is are offices and hotels, and everything is neat and tidy and mindblowingly unpersonal that it makes your head implode, you'll understand that the waves art makes are an absolute necessity and therefore it makes it a better world. But regardless of that, what an incredible person she is!
the storytelling thing reminds me of reading peggy lee's biography something to do with a shipwreck and her childhood home burning to the ground laurie anderson has that thing whatever it is
Now she knows that she actually has swedish ancesters and that her oncle Axel did travelled to Ameruca. Actually many children where send wth the ship to America with som adult company and then went to some relative. My oncle worked on a boat as a 15 yrar old
Try changing the article...to open up the possiblities. She works with language. My new obsessions Laurie Anderson and Birds. I think they fit like a hand in a glove.
I love interviews where only the interviewed is voiced! So smooth!

Laurie Anderson is one of the GREAT artists of our time!! Her influences are everywhere! She is wonderful!
That was the most relaxing 24 minutes I have had in a long time. Thank you Laurie.

I am Larified and Andesonized deeply from 80 to forever! Thank you master of words&sounds!

I can totally see why Lou Reed fell madly in love with her, and David Bowie was a dear friend and admirer.
Love this woman so much. Thank you for giving us so much x
"I am an artist because I want to be free" is something that will stick with me for a long time, I think. Thank you for this
Laurie Anderson is my Artistic Bodhisattva. She is so sweet! her imagination is so real. Listen to Blue Lagoon :)
Can you believe I have only just discovered her?! I listened to O Superman this morning, I may well be feeling over emotional. It made me cry. Now listening to her incredible life story 💛
@Marina E ha! I didn’t and I was just about to start decorating- oh well 🙂
you are so lovely. i have known of you since BIG SCIENCE released but actually went to mills and so knew of your history. You are so radiant and lovely and natural. bless your heart
First heard Laurie in mid-80's. 30+ years on and I could still drink the water she bathed in.
same here 1980/ a genius elf w/ a violin and screenprojection , inspiring
A life long electronic friend for this 65 yo guy. I think I owe her a lot for my sanity.
Yes, I feel the same way.
What a great PERSON she is! I find her work so inspiring, so engaging. 'I'm an artist because I want to be free'.
I love Mrs. Laurie Anderson ❤️ And Mrs. Laurie Anderson new albums. Gintare Maksimovaite
Thank you so much.....Laurie Anderson has such a different way to fit in the Rock era
I remember seeing Laurie on Space Ghost: Coast to Coast back in the 90s as a kid! I'm glad I found her later on in life.
Laurie Anderson for President 2020
Shes such a trip! Excellent birds!
I love Laurie Anderson!

I love you Laurie Anderson♥
Thank you for your performances and oblique look on music

Awesome interview! Miigwetch Laurie
I love this artist!
Thank you Laury you rock
Laury is that you I'm a big fan I got to ask I don't even need to save your music on my phone because I remember it everyday
she has beautiful smile
It’s like a welcome. Love her smile and those Shirley temple dimples!
She aged very well - in a beautifully natural way. And her smile is beautiful, indeed.
Спасибо! :-)
Simply put: A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN.
I love this!
A beautiful sunny day in Denmark only a few kilometers from her grandfathers Sweden. If he wasn't lying:)
What an incredible woman.
forever beautiful.
Heaven is a place exactly where you are RIGHT now...
respect!
Her comment about starting at the right scale is more relevant today when anyone can get a camera and upload to UA-cam. Start small.

Excellent person.
what a light
... Laurie Anderson, I love your oh Superman song.... it sounds like you have a halfway polite bird there with you.
she would love my slow pace of working ;)
I really don't agree with her at 15:49, If you've ever been in the Frankfurt financial district, where all there is are offices and hotels, and everything is neat and tidy and mindblowingly unpersonal that it makes your head implode, you'll understand that the waves art makes are an absolute necessity and therefore it makes it a better world.
But regardless of that, what an incredible person she is!
Love!
I seriously wish I had dimples like she does. She’s very cute, isn’t she? She’s like a sprite or something.
Do you know which book by William S. Burroughs she talks about in 5:37?
"Slower is deeper"
the storytelling thing reminds me of reading peggy lee's biography something to do with a shipwreck
and her childhood home burning to the ground
laurie anderson has that thing whatever it is
Does anyone know which book Laurie Anderson talks about at 12:00?
thx :)
"And Our Faces, My Heart, Brief as Photos"- John Berger
You can express yourself anyway you want on FBook...and I do...poems...my cartoons..(Betty and Marge) my paintings..etc etc it's not confining.
Grand Dame!
Someone who knows truth
oh my god
Now she knows that she actually has swedish ancesters and that her oncle Axel did travelled to Ameruca. Actually many children where send wth the ship to America with som adult company and then went to some relative. My oncle worked on a boat as a 15 yrar old
If you listen to her accent carefully, you can hear the Swedish
Liars can be the best story tellers.....
Music Queen
The other Bjork.....
Bjork is the other Laurie.
Donna Johnson They were and still are both outstanding artist

Did anyone catch the grooming behavior with the Kennedy thing?
