Laurie Anderson

Laurie Anderson is a celebrity performance artist and composer.  Now, she is most famous for being the widow of Lou Reed, but in the late 1970s and into the 1980s, she had a very large and loyal following as a performance artist.
"O Superman" was her big best-selling success.  It remained largely unknown in the USA except to artists and art professionals, but it was number 2 on the charts in the UK and in Europe in 1981.
I watched her perform this piece for an audience of art students in Kansas City in a free concert in 1980.  At the time, it sounded so excitingly new.  Now, 33 years later, it sounds to me somewhat dated.
