I literally just discovered her tonight and I am hooked. She's so original and so far everything I have listened to I have absolutely loved. Her style is a little different than what I normally listen to but she's fantastic and unique and I love it!

I recommend watching "Home of the Brave," the whole piece is on KZread if you search for "Home of the brave laurie anderson." It's absolutely brilliant and has a lot of songs with great hooks.

This lady is still very cutting edge and very creative.

I love how at the end of this clip she got him to "sing" the lyrics.

She gives me strong "music professor" vibes. Someone who clearly went into music to excite and inspire people, not to "score big hits". O Superman feels almost like a tutorial into modern electronic music.

Tf are you on? It's perfectly in time. She even described the difficulty getting the loops to circulate with each other so perfectly. It's called polyrhythmic, read a book. Edit, do you mean timeless?

She's as charming as I had hoped...great interview clip.

I love you, Laurie! Even though O Superman is not in the Music Appreciation book from which I teach, I make sure to teach it anyway. It's important, and there is prophecy. When 911 hit, it took a deeper meaning -- "They're American planes, made in America..." And with Katrina a few short years later, "When love is gone, there's always justice, and when justice is gone, there's always force, and when force is gone, there's always Mom... Hi, Mom!" Mom, in this case, being Mother Nature. Thank you for giving the world this piece. It's beautiful.

Got this album from the library because of the cover art and brought it home. It blew my brain apart. As much as a hit as it was I never heard it anywhere else. Never spoke to anybody about it ever, was my own experience. It has stuck with me for 40 years, deep cut.

Some songs from the past pop up from time to time. This is one of them. Laurie is still awesome after all these years.

Oh he looked so happy when she gave him the mic.

I bought the album in 1984 when I was 25. Played it many times. That was 40 years ago. Still listening.

Gotta love Laurie Anderson

There was a version we used to listen to in the mid to late 90's after we had come back from the nightclubs .. it was like a trance or rave version .. but ive never been able to find that particular version again no matter how hard i try 😢

classic tune...lovely segment

I first heard this song in a documentary about the artist Louise Bourgeois. Such a wonderful song and a wonderful lady 💗

I love her more after this interview! She is amazing!!!!

so good to see she's still working 👍

Thank you Anderson for allowing Laurie to decifer this Song, which is implanted in AMERICAN HISTORY

Love you Laurie, and you too Lou!

i absolutely adore her and her stories. thank you for your art, laurie anderson💕

I do some of my best thinking listening to this track on repeat. Thank you, Laurie Anderson.

god, i love this woman. i discovered her around '81 & have been grateful ever since. she did outstanding work in "swimming to cambodia" with spalding gray. her strong smile is lit with the energy of creativity. 😻😻😻😻😻 5/5 lovin'-it kitty-catties

Her way to convey her art is genuinely amazing

One of my favorite songs ever made 💓

she’s so dope

Recorded in 1980?! WHAT?! O.O

When I first heard this I thought wow It’s so good It brain washes you you can’t move until It finishes

One of my all-time favorite artists! I saw her in San Francisco...MEMORABLE PERFORMANCE

This has always been my favorite

Loved it then and love it now , epic

1:40 I could cry

I think she’s kinda cool.

Love Laurie A. Love White Lily.

I'm pretty sure they used a vocoder on Star Wars for the voices of Darth Vader and Stormtroopers.

A lot of essays after 9-11 about this song, that she somehow had seen the "attacks". Really amazing stuff at the time.

That song is the musical equivalent of the MLK sculpture.

“& when force is gone, there’s always mom” May God Bless her in Jesus Name This song is so Powerful it makes me weep anytime I Hear it

In Her long arms.

TikTok finally got to this song

What an interesting human being she is :)

It sounded like he was going to ask her what the lyrics mean so she just gave him a mic instead 😂

Seems a little short sided to not mention her effect on TikTok and that's WHY this song has become a hit again.

101th comment!! Hello fellow 80s/90s/00s/10s/20s/+ kids :]

Always found this to be unsettling. Serial killer Dennis Nilsen used to play this frequently in his apartment. Creepy.

O superman was the first use of the VOCODER, which since then has been corrupted into AUTOTUNE

“This is a song about how, basically, technology cannot save you.” - she says to a news actor working for billionaires with plans to ‘save the world’ by using technology to starve the world’s population - and she knows it. Her professional matter-of-factness about it went right past Anderson Cooper. Props to him though, for digging her music. It looks like he had a great time on this assignment & he seems relaxed & natural here. Good stuff :)

I love this woman. She owned the interview. Sucks that the honor went to Cooper to sit down with her. I had a snarl above my nose as he spoke. Man has no personality. Can't even belt out a few lyrics. She flattered him with that praise.
