Artist Laurie Anderson

We talk with musician-wordsmith-artist Laurie Anderson about her decades on the art scene and her latest album, Homeland.

Laurie Anderson is not an easy woman to categorize. In forty-plus years of performing, Anderson combined music, visuals, storytelling, technology and a male alter ego into her performances. We talk with Anderson about her decades on the art scene and her latest album, which explores the darker aspects of American society.

It was mindblowing to see her on Letterman, adding such a neat extra verse on the BP scandal to 'Only an Expert'. Kicks ass.

I've read that she's writing / planning a new book next year. I wonder what's it going to be about.... A retrospective collection of stories? New stuff?
