We saw Laurie Anderson on the South Bank

Performing that show. It was incredible. She got us to draw pictures, and talked, and told us lots of stories, and performed all those songs you knew so well. It was entirely not what I expected -- we'd be thinking we'd be seeing something new, strange, performative, and instead it was a sort of greatest hits show, but so brilliant ... when she sang O Superman the entire hall held their breath, I'd never heard anything like it, and she sang Here come the planes and her voice just cracked, a little bit ... (I also had a migraine, and was hallucinating so badly I could hardly breathe...)

It must be stange, to suddenly find something in your back catalogue changed like that.

Incidentally, did you ever read this Sept 11 strip, by Story Minute genius Carol Lay?
