NP - Laurie Anderson To Give Concert Only Dogs Can Hear

[Page]

Don't know where I picked up this tale. It may have been here -- if so, my 
apologies. Supposedly, Laurie A. contacted TRP about writing an opera based 
on GR. His reply was that he would consent to it only if she used kazoos to 
the exclusion of all other instruments. Laurie is reputed to have taken that 
as a polite "No."

Anyone know the source or authenticity of this story?

SYDNEY — Legendary rocker Lou Reed and artist wife Laurie Anderson
will next month bring one of the most bizarre performances to Sydney's
Opera House -- a recital for dogs, largely inaudible to human ears.

At a press conference on Friday the pair said their programme for
Sydney's Vivid LIVE arts festival includes an eclectic mix of heavy
guitar music, martial arts and music for dogs.

Multimedia artist Anderson said the inspiration for the canine
performance came while she was backstage before an event and thought:
"Wouldn't it be great, if you were playing a concert and you look out
and you see all dogs?

"And so I said, 'If I ever I get the chance to do something like that
I would do it'."
