National Anthem PSA

Comments 0 Comment

A new VirusHead tradition begins here. Now. Every Saturday I will post another of Laurie Anderson’s public service announcements. She actually calls them personal service announcements. Just a few little tidbits for you to ruminate upon. (Please make more, Laurie.) The first PSA that I’ve chosen is called “National Anthem.” [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9cE6Pg2q3lI[/youtube] The words are great though..just a lot of questions, written during a fire…. things like: Hey, do you see anything over there? I don’t know, there’s a lot of…

Boston Legal Tackles Guantanamo

Boston Legal Tackles Guantanamo

Comments 1 comment

To my chagrin, I have never seen an episode of Boston Legal. If only it aired an hour (or two) earlier. It looks like a show to which I could easily have become addicted.

Laurie Anderson and Lou Reed

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. I’ve been listening to a lot of both of them in the last few days. I’ve really been enjoying the music from Anderson’s “Strange Angels.” Then I discovered her…

Where have we gone, America? On Staged “Terrorist” Attacks and Dictatorship Impeach Now or Face the End of Constitutional Democracy, Paul Craig Roberts, Counterpunch Unless Congress immediately impeaches Bush and Cheney, a year from now the US could be a dictatorial police state at war with Iran. Bush has put in place all the necessary measures for dictatorship in the form of “executive orders” that are triggered whenever Bush declares a national emergency. Recent statements by Homeland Security Chief Michael…
