Laurie Anderson 12-14-85 late night TV interview

Laurie Anderson is interviewed for a late night TV show, as broadcast 12-14-85. The BetaGems channel also has "Laurie Anderson & Peter Gabriel video vanguard award."
BetaGems are culled from an archive of over 1000 beta video tapes recorded from 1983 into the 1990s. Most feature live music performances broadcast on television in San Diego CA, though there are also rarely seen commercials, comedy clips, and other material that doesn't seem to be anywhere else on TH-cam or online. Most of the tapes were recorded on a Sony SL-HFT7 Super Beta Theater Hi-Fi Stereo - the same model was refurbished and is being used for these digital transfers and uploads.
In rare occasions where a BetaGems clip does appear elsewhere, we're only uploading if our own beta master is better quality or contains material not seen previously. Much footage comes from public television and public access broadcasts that the taper, who worked for a local cable TV production company in the 1980s, monitored nightly for several years. Some of the programming is strictly regional, mostly from the San Diego area.

Loved watching Night Flight on USA back in the 80s.
They showed art films, cult favorites, and banned music
videos! And Laurie Anderson is still amazing!
Great upload!

"I eventually quit that job. Not before I was fired, but very, very close". lol Laurie, my darling, my heart.

[@KaijuEigaMan88]

Such an amazing, articulate artist. Hearing O Superman for the first time was a game changer for my tastes in music, and I've only moved forward to listening to Laurie and other cutting-edge, sonically experimental artists since then. I hope to see Laurie Anderson live once this pandemic is over.

[@oliverjackson6992]

Is she high?

[@YuQissu]

She's free.

[@mookygravano3924]

Probably not man. I used to tend to think that all artists were high and you need to be high to do art.
Thats almost never the case
Sometimes it is but the ratio is similiar to walking through a neighborhood and saying "i wonder how many people inside these houses are high right now." In a few of the houses they might be. But on most nights everyone is just doing their normal thing sober.
With art most real artists are just doing their normal thing. Art.
Drugs and being high don't really have anything to do with art..
You'll churn out more art at a faster rate but that will tax the artist so then you will have periods when you can't do art because you're always in trouble with drugs
So yeah overall most amazing artists are not high all the time.
