Laurie Anderson's Homeland

Last weekend I went to Berkeley to see Laurie Anderson. It was a magical evening.

A stage studded with candles it was simply four musicians weaving a night of wonder. Laurie started with a story about birds (before there was a world) and it just went onwards and upwards from there.

Darker, sadder, angrier and more political than I've ever heard her, it was also sweet and beautiful. She is a poet and a surprisingly accomplished singer and musician.

Haunting.
