If not, it's pretty great, and Burroughs turns up in it, dancing with Laurie.

Here's Sharkey's Night from it:



Thanks, I love Laurie Anderson.

Today was the last showing for the theater here.

I'm going to request our local library get the DVD when it comes out. I want to see it again.

We saw it for the first time the night before our first daughter was born and we named her Laura because of it.

Good movie.

To me, Laurie is a goddess and I have been listening to her music forever. We have history. I just got the Heart of the Dog CD and cried. That last song by Lou just did me in.

...published in 1970, by Laurie and my old pal George DiCaprio (Leo's dad).

Laurie did the art, George the writing. It's fairly rare, so in case you're interested, you may see the cover art and some sample pages here: comixjoint.com.
