Laurie Anderson: Talk Normal (2000)

This is an excellent collection of Laurie Anderson's work over the decades. 'O Superman' is the song most people might be familiar with. The best way I know of to describe her work is by using pictures, i.e. video. Her background was in Art History and she was known as a sculptor before becoming a performance artist. She's also known for inventing her instruments. While looking through the videos, what surprised me was that she's done several "Personal Service Announcements" (PSA's) on various topics and I've added one as well -and the fact she married Lou Reed this month.
