Laurie Anderson wrote a story in her book about an animal psychic visiting a whale born in captivity , the whale kept thinking to the psychic "do all oceans have walls?"
That still makes me cry. That's how her art works on your soul.
Same here- I've been lucky enough to have seen her live twice. So many strange and beautiful images and facets in her stories, but the whale story will be with me until I die. Such a rich way to point out that we get excited and distracted about the wrong things and miss the tiny miracles and beautiful souls- the quiet core of what really matters... It's cool to 'meet' someone who was also touched by the story. :-)
@@roselieber very well put,, thank you
Nice to meet you as well 😊
do you remember which book? would love to read it
@@scrapyardheart it was called Empty places
She has that bright light in her eyes that you see the most often in young curious children. She obviously never lost it. A remarkable person, truly.
She use to be trippy
@@drakokamikaze8823 She still is.
very beautifully put, I wish I could still have that glow
@@ninjesus4079 I wish I could too!
...that you - last but not least - also may learn from. A Lot. She just Knows.
she knocked me out in the 80's and continues to fascinate me... lovely woman.
Laurie Anderson spoke at my niece's graduation from art school. She said now was the best time to be an artist because there are so many new ways to share your art (internet, etc.), rather than having to go through gatekeepers at major institutions. I was geeking out because I'd been a fan of hers since the 80s and at one point chopped off all my hair to get the Laurie look.
She’s remarkably talented.
So glad she’s still going strong. Saw her perform in Sydney about 30 years ago and felt her inspiration permeate through my visual artworks but she’s gone on to produce sooo much more. Good on you Laurie Anderson!
Watching Anderson Cooper being totally fanboying Laurie Anderson is absolutely delightful. Will there be an Anderson / Anderson collaboration in the works?
60 Mins chose the right person to interview her, fer sure. It's plain to see they were both enjoying it.
I was mesmerized when I first heard her music in the early 80s and saw her perform in New Haven in 1989. What a brilliant mind.
During the performance of Home Of The Brave you see William Burroughs dancing with Laurie, and it was this moment, as so many with Laurie that one can continue to view and the moment is passed, or one just stops and say to oneself : that's William Borroughs dancing with Laurie.
It was one of those moments in time.
And I was tearing up when she spoke of Lou and how he was ready for his death. For those familar with Lou you know that he was quite cantankerous ( to put it mildly) in his earlier days. And one can see the effect she had on him.
Thank you, Laurie, for these moments and thank you William Burroughs.
With ❤
I love her energy, and the entirety of "Strange Angels" is so personal to me.
Mee too...❤
I just love everything about her work , her music , and all of her talents and attitudes.
Been a fan since I first heard O Superman !
She starts to talk and I get immediately mesmerized !
Beautiful Soul!
Same :) ❤️
I'm enthralled. I never "got" Laurie Anderson until about a year ago. And then, I couldn't get enough. Nearly her age, I had to grow into her, to approach her level. (Not surprisingly, I experienced a similar time-lime with the work of Lou Reed.) Anderson is nothing short of a national treasure. Why has she not received a Kennedy Center award?
she's been a huge influence in my life since the early 80s. just brilliant! i always wanted to bump into her in the evening and say 'Satelites are out tonight!
I'm truly amazed that I'm just now discovering Laurie Anderson's music barely now through the TV series "Evil" on Paramount+. I'm always seeking out music and art like hers. She is a true story teller and artist. I love her first album and I'm excited to listen to more.
Oh my gosh. Thanks so much for doing this piece. Laurie Anderson is such a special person that I wish more people knew about.
Wow... I love this! I've never heard of her but I just fall in love with her attitude and energy. She has that twinkle in her eye it's so special. She reminds me of Lee Ann Womack's song "I Hope You Dance", and dancing is sure what Laurie Anderson has been doing throughout her life. Amazing woman! When I grow up I want to be just like her! 🥰
What a treat, getting to glimpse at the natural genius of this artist whom I have been aware of forever, it seems.
Nobody could ever imagine like Lori Anderson. We need more people like her.
Thank you for highlighting my humble comment.
SHE is magic!! I had the pleasure of seeing her at a couple of performances and in an interview all in the space of several wonderful days in Wellington in 2020. I flew back home from there on the 8th of March. It was the last live event I went to before lockdown. Had I died on the plane ride home I'd have died a happy man.
Thank you for this Anderson … for bringing me back to Lori - She is a true treasure and a reflection of a NY that once was .
What an amazing human.
I saw Laurie Anderson play in 1983 at the Viennese Concert House. Today it's still by far one of THE best and most riveting concerts I've ever attended.
genius, something none of us can understand. but I think the single most critical attribute Laurie Anderson has that has enabled all of us to benefit from her genius over her career is that she never cared what others thought of her art. she simply keeps creating it.
The only artist who made me understand what art is.
amazing artist - i saw her in portland OR at Schnitzer Auditorium (amazing venue) in 1990s - she morphed onstage into various incarnations i kid you not, and no i wasn't on hallucinogens
One of the few musical geniuses I've known of since the 1980s. Just an amazing mind. I love Laurie Anderson.
I remember her from my youth. I listened a lot of "Oh Superman" and others...!! She was, and is still and far out of this world artist...!!And she's so nice, so candid and so lovable...!! Nice to see her in her seventies... so vivid and so creative...!! 🥰
Listening to SUPERMAN back in the 80s changed me.
The Hirshorn show was amazing!!!! After seeing that show, she has become my favorite Artist of all time!!!!
I love how she blushes when talking about Lou Reed (7:08).
Been hooked since Big Science '82.."there's always Mom"..that always slays me !
Me: Google everything Laurie Anderson. I'm 67- and just 'met' her thru Anderson. Yes-I've been on an island in Alaska since the early 80's! Can't wait to discover more 'thru her eyes'! Amazement!!
I just saw her live last week. I'm still on a high from it.
Clearly she is gifted and followed her passion and still had joy on her face.
Laurie and Anderson should tour.
I want to hear all eight minutes of Anderson Cooper's 'O Superman'.
I was blown away by the Hirschhorn exhibit, if that's what you can call it... amazing and appreciated..
As always, Laurie does not disappoint! 💗
I'm so glad Laurie is still creating her art. She is one of a kind brilliance.
I love her
Laurie eres genial !!!🖤🌹
Got to me her when I was a graduate student at CU Boulder, great woman and artist!
Did you see her at Mackie Auditorium? I was there. It was great!
@@lackra12 No,I was in the Art department and she was a visiting artist.
Fabulous and mesmerizing Laurie Anderson!
beautiful about lou. just so beautiful.
Lou Reed. "Magic and Loss" A series of songs about two of his best friends dying of cancer in the same summer.. "Dreaming"... is hard to listen to... Laurie Anderson put on a GREAT show in Scottsdale, Az. I'll never forget it.
Laurie Anderson (and some of her American contemporaries like the Residents, Pere Ubu, D-evo, Non, Z'ev, Suicide, and a few others) helped us Europeans creating in our mind's eye, a synthesis of that other new side of post-Vietnam America. Several traumatic films like Taxi Driver, Eraserhead, The Deer hunter had already sparked my attention, in my then teenage years (Eraserhead, i read about it and only years later saw it), tuning me into digging Television, Talking Heads (in particular Byrne's lyrics) and Suicide, the NYC duo.
I know 'O Superman' is from 1980, but it sort of encapsulates both the past and future of the A.Dream ( as i hear it). She was somehow announcing the 80s sudden transformations, with all the forthcoming interconnections that somehow cast some shadow over human relationships, globally, at work and at home.. Also the idea of the American Family is superbly synthesized (if i may...) in a poignant bionic dialogue, through aforementioned (then ) modern hitech gadgets. Enough said. This piece of Art was playing almost daily on some main national fm rock stations, here in Portugal. A revelation indeed.
Laurie Anderson is still magical
❤❤❤❤❤❤love it🎉
I wonder if she'll read the comments? Glad she seems happy.
Lovely genius ❤💜💛
never listen to laurie anderson, but existence, and musicianship has always been valid.
How cool is this woman!!!
Love!
One of the few good things I can say about my ex-husband is that he introduced me to Laurie Anderson's BIG SCIENCE.
Absolutely incredible
She is amazing
Love her so much!
the one the only
O Superman was a surprise hit and got her a deserved exposure. She handled it so well, not falling into the fame trap.
I think I just re-fell in love with her.
I find her comment about pop music being very fickle for two reasons: one, as someone who loves pop music, I can honestly say that she's completely right. Two, I do think singles after "O Superman" sound like they're trying to play to a pop audience, especially "Language is A Virus," but they never sound like they're riding a specific timely trend. It sounds like she treats the pop single as just another artistic medium like painting or poetry. And they're all just as one-of-a-kind and cool. I highly recommend "Only An Expert" and the Tech Support Glitch remix.
Still hasn't gotten a Kennedy Center honor, nor Patti Smith or other trailblazers. When I first saw this I thought 'Katharine Hepburn has Laurie Anderson's voice.' The live album recording in NYC just weeks after 9/11 is haunting.
This is why I love TH-cam!! You can discover the world without ever leaving the farm sitting on that sack of seeds😀
I want to meet her one day!
She brings forth the force and uniqueness of the universe as it flows where it will
Lou found on Laurie a treasure… what a lucky guy he was.
Absolutely beautiful and brilliant👏👏👏🤗👍
I fell in love with Weird Science back in the day, them lost track of her. I always wondered....now I know she has continued as a force.. good for her!
Not sure what she is/does, but definitely unique. Just proves there's an audience for anything!!
A remarkable artist and lifelong inspiration
I wish I could see her exhibition in DC.
She was gorgeous too. And now very attractive but mostly incredibly uniquely herself and that’s inspiring.
I was watching a movie on Netflix. I forget the name. In the movie, a man realizes that to fix his life he has to go back to when he was a kid and die with his mom in a train wreck. The closing of the movie shows the man as a young kid sitting with his mom on the train waiting for the crash. As audience sees the two of them, you hear Laurie Anderson, "So hold me, Mom ... In your long arms ..."
Such an interesting person.
Massachusetts Museum of Modern Art has many of her art pieces
She is cool I’m going to check out her music
She looks so sharp and lively for a 74 yo, a life well lived imo.
Such an interesting artist 👩🎨
I often can't deal with the fact that "60 minutes interviews" are only 10 or so minutes long in reality, especially in this case :/
Laurie's voice is the sound of wide open potential.
She makes Yoko's music seem mainstream Top 40.
Most musical artists *play* music. Unlike them, Laurie Anderson paints images in our minds, using her custom-designed musical paintbrush and using colors made of sounds. Laurie (and all other audio-visual artists) if you read this, then check out a wonderful audio-visual creation tool called "Touch Designer". The possibilities are limited only by your imagination.
The analogy of Fascism to mechanics is singularly appropriate.
Voice/speaking tonality, cadences and lilts remind me of the Geena Davis.
I love ❤ the song 🎵 EXCELLENT BIRDS 🐦 with Peter Gabriel.
Laurie Anderson is to music what LSD is to consciousness.
What a wonderful woman, and no bleached hair and cosmetic surgery.
❤❤❤
she’s an icon. been listening to her masterpieces since forever, had no idea she were married to lou reed. wow. thank u for this marvelous interview.
I met her at a party back in the mid eighties and was struck speechless by her energy and beauty. She sensed my condition and just talked me down from that freeze, walked me into relaxing. Such a wonderful lady.
Wow, I would love to have Laurie Anderson talk me into relaxation--she has the most soothing voice! Lucky you!
@@aiai-j7iI ditto you, would have loved that experience too
"Oh Superman" has never been eerie and unsettling to me. "Oh Superman" helped me feel less alone in the world, inspired, ready to be human in this life...for whatever that means. Profound gratitude. I described Laurie as a "storyteller" recently to someone who was not yet familiar with Laurie's work and another person in the room tried to correct me and said, "she is actually a musician". I just smiled, unwilling to argue because I was being asked my opinion, knowing in my heart how I saw Laurie. Ultimately, Laurie, in my eyes, is a creative and in my heart and soul, I have always perceived her as a storyteller in all her works. A true and profound elder of our times and let me clarify that it has nothing to do with her age. Thank you so much, Laurie!
For me it was "From the Air"....scared me every time i heard it, in a good way
I agree 100%, I have always found the song to be nurturing and safe, and melancholic in its stark beauty. ❤
One of a kind. Laurie Anderson is a national treasure.
Yea and when Supermann came out people thought she's mad.
Seeing her perform in person was one of the great thrills in my life. Breathtaking.
And how!
World Treasure!
I love this segment - seeing her given space, elevating her for.a younger generation to ponder and admire. THIS is contribution to the arts.
Absolutely. I just shared it with my children (who all remember O Superman!) and our granddaughter.
Laurie Anderson is a human kaleidoscope. She is truly a gift we will never be given again.
This is what I miss about the 80's .. creativity 💯🤟
WOW, HUH... Hold your horse's captain, we have Kanye West! 😂😂😂
@@tonymaurice4157 Creativity in 2022.
Laurie Anderson went to my High School!
Always enjoyed her work.
One of the most beautiful and astonishing minds our world has ever been graced with. Laurie Anderson is, for me, the face of Hope.
Laurie is one of the most incredible artists I have ever seen.
I love her depth, intellect, vibrant energy, and understanding of life on many levels. 💖
She's a legend!
Agree ,absoluly
Love her! I saw her in concert in the early 90’s…an absolutely hypnotic experience
I've always loved Laurie Anderson since I first heard O Superman.
Same here
