The American National Debt – Laurie Anderson PSA

The American National Debt – Laurie Anderson PSA

Comments 8 comments

Here is the next video in the sequence of (promised) Saturday installments of Laurie Anderson‘s private/public service announcements. This one is exponentially more relevant now than it was when she made it. Is anyone but me panicked about what the size of our national debt means for America’s future? [youtube]http://youtube.com/watch?v=YDiEIIdZAqA[/youtube] Notice the amount on the sign of United States public debt. It was approaching four trillion at the time, accruing about $8000 per second. She was concerned. Well, it has…

This is the second in the VirusHead Saturday postings of Laurie Anderson’s Public (Personal) Service Announcements. It’s about the response of a “bunny” at the Playboy Club, where protesters (including Anderson) were calling attention to the economic exploitation of women and the treatment of women as animals.

I don’t know, there’s a lot of…

In Santa Fe, Michael told me that at some point Lou Reed and Laurie Anderson had gotten married. Huh? Whew. Can anyone confirm? I guess they’ve been an item for some time – I don’t know how I could have missed that. Two of my favorite talents, but so very different.

Comments 1 comment

I’ve added a new page – “About VirusHead.” There is a short explanation of why the blog is named VirusHead. There is also a long rambling section about theoryheads and postmodernism (only for the intensely curious). I’ve also added a page dedicated to Jehovah’s Witnesses issues, news and resources. In addition to page links (to bits of the main VirusHead site), the page lists all the titles of the blog posts on this topic, so that you don’t have to…
