The View From Kalamazoo

NASA’s first ever artist in residence: Laurie Anderson

(I may be a geek. I admit that. But she is SO COOL. As an art student I saw a photo of her in one of my textbooks – performance art on the streets of NYC, the photo showing her standing on a block of ice, playing her violin while wearing her ice skates (not this photo, but this is the performance). When the ice melted, the performance ended. I was hooked. I owned this album (tape, actually. later eaten by the hungry cassette player in a ’78 Cougar), I went to this concert at the Fisher Theatre in Detroit. Yes, my friend, I am a geek, a big, big geek.)

This is the time. And this is the record of the time.
