Laurie Anderson's "Oh Superman"

[ffutures]

For some reason I was reminded of Laurie Anderson's "Oh Superman", and on impulse I did a YouTube search for it and found it here. It was actually a fairly big hit in the eighties, and I remember seeing it performed "live" (as much as a piece of performance art like this can be) on a BBC late-night show back then.

Anyway, it's a very interesting piece of eighties performance art, which I was very pleased to see again. If you haven't seen it, take a look.

Thanks, I'd forgotten how much I liked that. They're AMERICAN planes ...

Wow - thank you for posting this! "O Superman" and "Let X=X" are my two favorite pieces of hers, and I was able to find a "Let X=X" clip on YouTube as well! Very cool.

Amazing stuff, I've played it several times as my closer for DJ sets.

Can you post a "let x=x" link? I can't seem to find it.
