There are billions of people and a version of normal to go along with each one of them. No two versions are exactly the same. There will be hundreds of thousands of little things that make up your version of normal. With any luck you can find people that have close to the same idea of what normal is that you do. These are your friends. Anyone else you try to tolerate as best you can.
....
The exact definition of normal depends on who's running the asylum.

5383 - O Superman
This is from a Laurie Anderson album from 1982 called Big Science. I thought to myself I should know her, from 1982. But I don't have a clue who she was. Her album is being rereleased.
I used to hear this on the radio back in 1982 when I was in High School. I can remember sitting in my bedroom listening to it. I did not listen to standard radio but college radio because I liked alternative underground music. An original hipster I guess. She was also on Peter Gabriel's "SO" album.
Somehow this manages to be creepy, boring and unintelligible all at once. I feel like I need to scrub out my brain with a stiff brush now :) Sorry for the negative review. So, how do you feel about it?
Jenny - Since it's 6 minutes, once it started and I got about a third of the way through it, I opened another window and let it run in the background. So I made it all the way through. I almost tried to find the lyrics to see what it was all about but decided not to.
Nuh, nuh, nuh.
ReplyDeleteI'm crushed that Elephant's Child beat me to the comment I planned to make. Why on earth is this album being rereleased?
ReplyDeleteI lasted 40 seconds.
ReplyDeleteInteresting? I guess. But it was too hard to dance to.
ReplyDeleteI've never understood performance art or artists.

ReplyDeleteSue, Bill, Deb, Shaw, Kathy - So you're not going to buy the album?
ReplyDeleteLady - You're the 14% (counting me) that has heard of her. That percentage could go down as the day goes on.
