A couple of reviews in today's paper. First off is Laurie Anderson's latest, Delusion, at BAM. It was hard to refrain playing off the title, but I did.
She performed on one of the late night shows a couple months ago, maybe Letterman, and I couldn't watch past 15 seconds, for the reasons you identify. I'm glad that Laurie and Lou aren't sacred downtown cows - I enjoyed Berlin Live, but it's going on 20 years since Lou's last good new studio album (New York, imho).
I saw that performance on youtube (it's been taken out since) and believe me, it was a lot better than anything in Delusion! It's like they both have a lifetime pass from critical appraisal. Sheesh.
I'm a Brooklyn-based writer/editor specializing in entertainment and outdoors recreation. Past jobs include drama critic/features writer at the New York Post and arts & entertainment editor at Time Out New York.
Why all the French stuff? I am, indeed, from France, and have been living in America for over 25 years.
