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.
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
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!
Laurie Anderson is a human kaleidoscope. She is truly a gift we will never be given again.
"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 went to my High School!
Always enjoyed her work.
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.
One of the most beautiful and astonishing minds our world has ever been graced with. Laurie Anderson is, for me, the face of Hope.
she knocked me out in the 80's and continues to fascinate me... lovely woman.
Laurie Anderson has been one of my heroes since I discovered her as an awkward and lonely teenager in the 80's. "Sharkey's Day" (full version) is one of my most cherished songs ever, always brings me to tears, her work is incredibly moving. Few artists transcend the universe like Laurie Anderson, I love her so much. 🕊🕊🕊
I did not speak English and I heard "Home of the Brave" as a young French guy and I fell in Love and ran to the record store to get that amazing album I still love to listen today...
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 knew little about Laurie before. Now I stand in awe. Great job, 60 Minutes.
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.
I've never really been a fan of the word delightful but Laurie Anderson is truly!
(delightful) Her enthusiasm is contagious and just watching her energizes me. My favorite part of this interview though was her face as she talked about Lou Reed.. that's true love.
She’s remarkably talented.
I LOVE LAURIE ANDERSON!!!! What a person! Super duper fan here in Cape Town, for over 35years.
I've always loved Laurie Anderson since I first heard O Superman.
Same here
I read the comment that says, if God ever had a voice it would be Laurie Anderson
No words can describe this person .. she is a true gift in our time
I love her with all my being
First heard her in college early 80s. Always loved her music.Fascinating person. Loved this little visit with her. Thanks Anderson.
I'm really glad no one else can describe her amazing work in a few words either. When I first heard of her through Gorillaz of all things, I hesitated to call her a singer or a presenter or a storyteller or whatever. All I knew was that I couldn't get enough. And now I realize she's all of those and more! She's _her._ She's an artist, and she inspires me to say and do whatever the heck I want.
I feel so lucky to have seen Ms. Anderson perform in KC, back in the early '90s. It was one of the most delightful, thought-provoking performances I've seen. She's that rare combination of intelligence, keen observation, and creativity. Having been a fan of Lou Reed's 20 years before I saw her; I was kind of 'charmed' by the news of their marriage, and I'm glad they were happy together. Ms. Anderson is a national treasure. :)
Watching Laurie Anderson brought back so many memories from my art classes in the early 80’s. She was so inspirational to me and other art students. She’s the OG Queen of performance art.❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
Loved her since the late 70’s, early 80’s. A true artist. So much of her work will not be understood for years to come. We are better for her being on this planet doing her own unique play. 👏🙏😁🌹🦋
An artist is one who examines, and sees and hears and touches, what is all around, and then tries to help us, the blind and deaf and unfeeling, to understand.
When I think about the most moving performance experiences I've ever had, the list is filled with Laurie Anderson moments.
Topping that list would probably be the performance she gave just a few days after the 9/11 attacks. She sang O Superman (for the fist time in a tour in a very long time) and we could barely breathe. It was haunting.
I never miss an opportunity to see her and am excited to see this exhibit.
"Here come the planes. They're American planes, made in America"
@@bluelines1 oh god. I have to watch it now, again.
An absolutely chilling performance.
Laurie is more than a pioneer, she is an experience. So precious a voice for humanity.
I saw this interview come up a few times and wasn't interested, so when it accidentally started playing, I let it play. I was so happy to learn about this woman, such talent. And what an amazing life ❣️
Ditto!
Totally the same for me! I had no idea who she was and thus didn't press Play for a while... I watched it & then remembered ' oh superman' - so by then I was captured!
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 met her in New Orleans, at an afterparty in the early 90's. Ramsey Mclean was my guest to her show, and I was his to the afterparty (Ramsey was nominated for an Oscar for his song, A Wink and A Smile - When Harry Met Sally Circa 1994). David Jones was a colleague of mine and the President of the Chamber of Commerce. And he was, as was I, a major fan of Laurie's. His FRONT ROW SEATS had been changed due to the room restrictions [fire code] so their plans to meet each other vanished and he was NOT HAPPY. When I had the chance to introduce myself to her, I recalled the David situation story and asked her to write him a little note proving that it was indeed THE LAURIE ANDERSON I had met. She did not disappoint. It was an awesome note she wrote... with references only he would know because they'd shared private conversations AND she took the pen ink to her thumb and left the print on it. SO true to form Laurie.
I also had the fantastic privilege of receiving a gift from her. She had on the most awesome eyeball earrings and I thought nothing of letting her know. She offered and insisted on giving them to me. I still have them and wear them probably 3/4 x a year. I love them.
And... I hope I still know the words... as I sang them constantly during my long traffic jams in Los Angeles in the mid-90's.
I don't know about your brain. Mine is rather bossy.
I LOVE THE CREATIVE AND TALENTED LAURIE ANDERSON. This interview is a treat! RIP Lou.
She is so brilliant and her shows are magical. Brings tears to my eyes.
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 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 :) ❤️
Wow! Where have I been that I never heard of this woman till now? What a force to be reckoned with. Beautiful when she was young, beautiful at 74. What great energy!
How did I reach this late age without knowing of her?
Because she is a “ nobody “ ,they brought her to light since this sick woke movement ,she fits the mold
I knew her in 1972.
I learned of her in early 80's when performance art was popular
INCREDIBLE woman! WOW! Beautiful soul, and so deservedly blessed with extraordinary beauty both inside and out, as well as phenomenal gifts and talents. MAGICAL! 💃😍🥰👌💪
Who has a cooler more satisfying life as an artist that Laurie Anderson? So pure.
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.
Saw her at the Sydney Opera House. My friends at the time hated things they did not understand. I went alone. She was a light to me, showed me that creativity is life. She had an enormous influence on me. When my father died a line from one of her songs, i think is was from Bright Red just echoed with me and had such truth. “When my father died it was like a whole library had burnt down” one of my favourite lines. Another, “Language is a virus”.
She also loves dogs, what a star.
She's amazing 😍
She is truly an American treasure.
I bought Big Science the day it came out...
It was AWESOME!!
"This is the time, and this is the record of the time."
What a great life she's had.
I love her energy, and the entirety of "Strange Angels" is so personal to me.
Mee too...❤
She is on a different level, what a visionary
Yes! This. 🥰
Oh my gosh. Thanks so much for doing this piece. Laurie Anderson is such a special person that I wish more people knew about.
I love this woman! She's a true artist and pure class! ❤
Yup.
She's an artist.
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! 🥰
Anyone new to Anderson, def give a listen to O Superman but also Hiawatha. Both are very different but a good intro to her work.
Add "Strange Angels" to the list.
On April 1, 2023, Laurie Anderson's exhibition "Looking into a mirror sideways" opens at the Moderna Museet, Stockholm, Sweden, and in the evening of the same day she gives a performance concert.
What a treat, getting to glimpse at the natural genius of this artist whom I have been aware of forever, it seems.
We were blessed to have seen her in 2014 at The Kessler in Dallas. It was a tiny space, packed with people; all spellbound by this incredible woman. Her tale of having been in NYC on 09-11-01 was chilling. Opportunity of a lifetime and we still speak of it. Can't wait to share this video.
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 .
Just finished touring her exhibit about an hour ago. I got vertigo and had to sit down after! Amazing work. She speaks my language.
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?
I Saw Lawrie and Lou in concert together, must have been around Y2000 in Frankfurt. You could tell that they harmonised on all kinds of levels. I’m hoping that Lawrie's exhibition will go on tour around Europe/the world and that I get to see it at some point.
Ohh si, sería buenísimo que viniera a Madrid ( España) ,es una de mis preferidas artistas por muchos motivos
Her intelligence is so refreshing and beautiful.
I have seen Laurie at Ars Electronica in September 2022 and she blew my mind! Such energy and creativity. I loved her artwork, talk and performance there. Incredible person!
She’s so inspiring and amazing. I love her
She is one of the coolest humans that has ever lived.
When I had an answering machine, back in the old days, she was my voice. "Hello, I'm not home right now, but if u want to leave a message just start talking at the sound of the tone". I figured using a sample from Oh Superman would discourage sales persons from filling up my tape. Thank you Laurie.
What an amazing human being. I have loved her since I was 14. When "Language is a Virus" came to the Avant Gard theater in my town, I went and saw it over and over and over again. There isn't anyone like Laurie Anderson and her art is a gift.
There's a joy there that doesn't need much of a reason beyond who she is. She's the smile of a teenager in 1959 riding in the back of a pickup turning into a drive in in a small town that's all stuck in the mind of a little kid who saw it and never forgot it and still remembers it in wonder.
I was turned onto Laurie Anderson in 1980 and have been breathlessly in love with her ever since. She has been a major building block in my creative life and continues to be. Thank you Anderson for such a beautiful interview. I can’t wait to see the latest show!
Fascinated by her work♥️🙏🏻
Had the pleasure of experiencing her Chalk Room exhibit a few years ago. Even more creative than her music, if you can believe it. I'm glad she exists.
Yes! Nothing quite like it. Truly both a body and mind experience!
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.
Her collaboration with Peter Gabriel was fantastic, I still have the album with their track on it.
I saw her exhibit in May. I will be seeing again next week just before it closes. It's very powerful and overwhelms your senses in a very beneficial way. It's well your time to experience it.
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.
Beyond brilliant but humble and unaffected. She seems like she is a kindly person. She's a national treasure.
May I add she is a global treasure Love from Scotland
That museum exhibit in real life is one of the most interesting I've ever seen!
I honestly think she has possibly the most beautiful speaking voice I've ever heard. Every time I hear her, I think, if humanity ever encountered an alien civilisation and needed to send someone to speak on behalf of planet Earth, she'd be a great choice.
And I say that as an Australian who doesn't necessarily love American accents.
Same here.
Usually I prefer british
english, but the way she speaks
is simply beautiful . ♡
What a fabulous interview, I can see she's still curious about the world and is deeply empathic.
Laurie Anderson changed my life.
The only artist who made me understand what art is.
Saw the rerun last night. What an incredibly talented lady.
What an amazing human.
I was 16 when I ordered Big Science on cassette from a magazine. It took a month to reach me on the mountain 1986. I just realized what a profound impact #LaurieAnderson has had on my life. Even in my 50's people think I'm oddly creative, love throwing art parties, encouraging costumes, and more than a touch of the surreal on stage with fun lights. I can't thank you enough. That creative, expressive part of me is my favorite.
She is marvelous and a marvelous interview, thank you
She's great, been following her since 1980 "O Superman" days. What a Pioneer....recently saw her DC exhibit/installation
40+ years of simply adoring her. i am grateful to her for all the joy she's brought to my journey here on earth. in a perfect world, i'd get to spend an afternoon crocheting on a porch, with laurie sittin' next to me, & we'd talk & we'd talk until i couldn't see my stitches. then we'd have a slice of pie.
what a ride! first introdution through tiktok with a dark sinister story, enjoying her O Superman multiple times and now seeing her as a person with a beautiful soul
From 1986-1989 I used to play her album nearly every night.
Her album Strange Angels was a revelation and shook me positively to the core!
Love Laurie! Was privileged to see her in concert twice.
Superb interview! The first concert I took my wife (then girlfriend) to was Laurie Anderson in 1990 in LA. It is still etched in my memory.
Nobody could ever imagine like Lori Anderson. We need more people like her.
Thank you for highlighting my humble comment.
Wow!! Thank you AC! What a beautiful interview and chance to know more about LA! Fascinating!
Wow, I have never heard of her before this video, but she seems sooo very awesomely quirky and dazzling. She would be so great to talk to and hang out with. 😌🌹
A fave 80’s concert
Loud as **** , but clear and left the theatre with no muffled or ringing ears . Incredible
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
She is art itself. A profound joy!
It’s on my bucket list to meet her now.
Such a brilliant and interesting person.
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.
Long ago I saw Laurie's analog art at Houston's Contemporary Art Museum. A wonderful experience. My most recent enthusiasm I bestowed on her "Heart of a Dog" CD, which strangely was better to me as a recording, not the DVD with visuals. Long life in health, Laurel Philips Anderson.
Wow. How did I not know about her? She's amazing! Thank you for this story!
