Weekend Concert Series – Laurie Anderson, Home of the Brave

This weekend we have good tickets for an interesting show. It’s the summer of 1985, in Union City, New Jersey, and someone classified as punk, new wave, classical, and performance artist. It’s the future wife of Lou Reed, Laurie Anderson,

She made this film much the way the Talking Heads released Stop Making Sense. Her music didn’t translate completely to album format, and the visual elements are captured here for listeners and viewers.

Laurie is weird in a friendly, playful way and her storytelling is as interesting as her musical efforts.

She was a big deal when this came out.
