Anderson Cooper speaks with Laurie Anderson about her five-decade career as an artist, singer, composer and storyteller, and visits her largest-ever U.S. exhibit.
Laurie Anderson: You got the job.Anderson Cooper: Pitchfork said,"Listening to Laurie Anderson's first album is like sitting down with a strange form of life that has been studying us for a long time."
She came to New York in 1966 and began experimenting with music and short films. But after a while she thought her work might be better received in Europe. Laurie Anderson: I did, yeah. I wrote to about maybe 500, let's say, art centers, saying,"I'm planning a tour in the fall." I had no tour. And"would you like to be part of that?"
Laurie Anderson: I knew enough about the pop world to know it was extremely fickle. So I said,"OK, I'm not gonna be tricked by this." They shared Buddhism, Tai Chi and boundless creativity – and finally got married in 2008. Five years later Lou Reed died after a long battle with liver cancer.
