Houston, We Have an Artist
I remember staying up late at night as a teenager to watch "Night Flight" on the USA Network. That's where I had my first encounter with Laurie Anderson, the long-time avant guard musician and multi-media artist. I always thought she seemed distant. There was something cold about her music and performances. Frankly, she seemed a little spacey.
Turns out, I wasn't the only one who thought so. Anderson is now finishing up a two year stint as artist-in-residence at NASA.
When her gig at the space agency is up later this year, she's planning a big tour.
