Laurie Anderson: Truth and Daring
Laurie Anderson was once called a sellout for signing with Warner Bros. and bringing her art world aesthetic to the mainstream. Twenty years later, Brian Eno creates sounds for Microsoft, Mario Cuomo hawks Doritos, and it's Anderson who is refusing the Absolut ads. As she gets set to introduce her new performance work, Happiness, to Los Angeles audiences, Anderson talks with LA Weekly's Judith Lewis about pop culture, fast food, Sept. 11 and the virtues of useless art.
