Many thanks to Ray R. for a fine review of Laurie Anderson's latest effort.
Unfortunately, though, the B.A.M. series _just_closed_. I had expected 
there would be an associated album (which is one reason I didn't blow off
a weekend and drive to NYC) but I didn't know for sure. Thanks.

I'll bet there are quite a few among love-hounds, yes.

I was beginning to suspect that _RT_ had something to do with
the fireworks in the "Nausicaa" chapter of Ulysses!  :-)

Enjoy the album, jessica.

> see Richard Rhodes' THE MAKING OF THE ATOMIC BOMB.
Yes indeed.  A first-rate book.  For the same price you can buy two
tickets and popcorn for the new film _Fat_Man_and_Little_Boy_, and
by the looks of things you will leave the theatre knowing _less_ about
the Manhattan project than you knew when you entered.

> (Brian May) PS there is *one* music reference in there!
Not you, too.

> if she had Natalie Merchant's (of 10000 Maniacs) accent.
Natalie is of course from Jamestown, upstate NY.  Review in this
Sunday's NYT placed _Innocence_Mission_ in upstate Pennsylvania.
Close 'nuf.
