"This is the time and this is the record of the time."- Laurie Anderson

Today I read the wonderful article from @qsounds about Kraftwerk and I went back in time to the 80's, when I heard electronic sounds for the very first time. I still feel those goosebumps running up and down my skin. 

Who Is Laurie Anderson, the Young Ones might ask?

One fascinating and iconic lady I respect very much, popped in my head. Her name is Laurie Anderson. I was lucky enough to visit and actually also worked on one of her unforgettable concerts she performed in Vienna sometimes in the late 80's. Yes! Those awesome 80's and I am thankful to be born in my generation, where music and style made sense.

Laurie Anderson: "I've never really had a hobby, unless you count art, which the IRS once told me I had to declare as a hobby since I hadn't made money with it."

Laurie's Brilliant First Album , Big Science 1982

Lyrics: You know, I think we should put some mountains here
Otherwise, what are the characters going to fall off of?
And what about stairs? Yodellayheehoo. Ooo coo coo ooo

Here's a man who lives a life of danger

Everywhere he goes, he stays - a stranger  

Howdy stranger, mind if I smoke? 

And he said:
Every man, every man for himself
Every man, every man for himself
All in favor say aye ......

Big Science. Hallelujah. Big Science. Yodellayheehoo

This picture is irresistible where she is playing a hybrid instrument of her own invention, The Viophonograph.

This instrument was a part of Anderson’s journey to “Homeland.”

Lou Reed: “I think this record is the fruition of everything from her prior records and experiences and thoughts, they all came together in this one … She’s a mature artist. There’s a lot of things she can show you.”

Last not least a song I played at least a million of times when I started the walk on the wild side!
