'I Do Love a Doomed Quest': We're 'Going Down' With Laurie Anderson
Laurie Anderson's latest album 'Amelia' explores the doomed quest of aviation pioneer Amelia Earhart during her ill-fated 1937 flight attempt. Anderson, known for her unique blend of music and performance art, reflects on themes of struggle against nature, loss, and the communication of emotions through her work. The album features a mix of genres and collaborators, and serves as a tribute to Earhart's legacy, particularly her advocacy for women in male-dominated fields. Anderson discusses her artistic evolution, her personal experiences of loss, and how these have influenced her creative expressions, particularly in relation to the themes of empathy and the pursuit of understanding.
