Alright Bill, Laurie on RP{#Clap}.  Next time though, you have to also include the It Tango.  Let X= X and It Tango are listed as a single piece on the original album, and play that way.  For some strange reason, however, the cd has a gap that makes it play as two separate numbers. Without the rest, its easy to understand why some folks don't like this.  It just stops, and you're left wondering  —  Huh?

Bill... you should check this track. It does seem to end partway through.

I met this guy,
and he looked like he might be a hat check clerk
at an ice rink,
which in fact
he turned out to be.
And I said,
"Oh boy.
Right
again."

O how I love thee, Laurie Anderson. Hugs and kisses xxxx00000...

Nicely said. I greatly respect RP's catholic tastes.

But personally, I always want to kick L Anderson in the pants. Hard. With a Doc Martin's steel-toed boot. OK, I'll stop now.

I wasn't able to give this my full attention yesterday, but I hope to be able to in the future.

Nothing like an amazing trip to the avante guard for a Tuesday afternoon.  GREAT trip down memory lane.  I'll pull out the Laurie Anderson tonight for sure. Either you get this stuff or you're stupid.

I have this album, haven't listened to it in decades. . . and perhaps this song is why. But there are some good cuts on it.
