Hey, what are list opinions about TALKING TO GIRLS ABOUT DURAN DURAN?   My 
friend Kristi York Wooten thinks it's good, but, in high school, she was one 
 of the "Duran Duran Girls" as I named the gaggle of young ladies, so she's 
not  going to be too objective.  I looked at it, but it's expensive (it 
hasn't  gone to paperback, and I don't do downloads).
 
Also, wondering about IMPERIAL BEDROOMS, too.

np  Laurie Anderson HEARTLAND (CD, not the DVD--which is worth getting  the 
disc for)
 
"Many of the big American stories now, the most-told stories, are  
apocalyptic.  They're stories about how the world is getting hotter, more  crowded, 
and dangerous.  They're about arctic floods and disappearing  resources and 
entropy and the world winding down.  And nobody knows whether  all of this 
is fiction or not.  But like many complicated stories about the  future, 
there's no way to predict which version is more likely.  It's just  sort of a 
matter of preference.  It comes down to which story do you like  better?  This 
is another thing I love about stories--they are wild and  alive and always 
changing.
 
What are days for? 
To wake us up.
To put between the endless nights."
 
(Laurie Anderson in the liner notes of  HEARTLAND)

It's HOMELAND, not HEARTLAND.
 
(Now I'm envisioning a cover pic of Laurie Anderson done in a Norman  
Rockwell style--now THAT would be bizarre)
