Laurie Anderson Beautiful Red Dress

From her 1989 album, Strange Angels. I love the lyrics of this song. Here are my favourite lines:


Well they say women shouldn't be the president
Cause we go crazy from time to time
Well push my button baby here I come
Yeah look out baby
I'm at high tide.......

Ok! Ok! Hold it!
I just want to say something.
You know, for every dollar a man makes
A woman makes 63 cents.
Now, 50 years ago that was 62 cents.
So, with that kind of luck, it'll be the year 3,8888
Before we make a buck. But hey girls?

We can take it and if we can't
We're gonna fake it.....

Wouldn't surprise me. She is the artist in residence for NASA. There are a couple of interviews with the BBC about her role at NASA. I'll post them once we are no longer shaped and I can actually watch the vids. Now that The Daily Show is back on air, we are back to our super-downloading ways. ('we' does not mean me...)

Totally not my fault, DS has only been back for a few days, and our quota is unshaped on the 17th. So

FTR, I blame someone's fanatical Sifting habits - and by someone - I mean not me.
