A little off topic, but Laurie Anderson plays Junior Dad live at most of her concerts. If anyone is on the fence of seeing her live, its worth it just for that.

She played it again in LA last night, but cut off the recording before "get the coffee / turn the lights on / say hello to Junior Dad," which for me was always the climax. Still deeply moving, though... and I love that she recognizes the power of this in-some-ways absurd song from this in-many-ways absurd project.

she also projected some of her own lyrics from "World Without End" in the background:
When my father died we put him in the groundWhen my father died it was like a whole library burned down

Yeah that was genuinely moving, having a Lou presence in the set.
