Who the hell is Laurie Anderson?

Who the hell is Laurie Anderson?

Dude, seriously? We been living in the  information age for a generation now. Rather than blurt out that you don't know  who a famous person is, look her up.

And then prepare to be amazed.

Uhm, I was working in such "age" before you finished High School.  It's an immediate, short, honest response. 
Sure, I could look her up, pretend I knew who she is, but it's much funnier to have you call me Dude.

True or False: 

An ancestor of mine beheaded King Charles I of England.

You wait all these years to tell me that's what makes you laugh? Well look forward to an inundation of "dude-ing!"

True or False: 

An ancestor of mine beheaded King Charles I of England. 

I'll go with true.

[RCMerchant]

^ I'll say true as well.

I've posted that before with different language.  The answer is... maybe!  I know the headsman came from Ireland and had my family name.  I'm so proud.

Oh yes, the Yoko Ohyes married to LOU REED.  I would not have known her name.  I'm a dilettante; I couldn't care less about the cognoscenti.

Gasp, scoff, cough, Laurie Anderson had an amazing career a long time before she married Lou Reed, and kept her career going after Reed's glory days fizzled. Lou Reed was great, no bones there, he did some songs I love, but he married an even more imaginative artist than himself. (If you want to read something interesting, by the way, read Anderson 's account of how Lou Reed approached the moment of his death.)

And, hey, while I'm kvetching, it also doesn't make sense to say you were living in the information age when I was in high school, because if it was happening when I was in high school, I was also alive for it. But at forty-four I'll take all the "you young whippersnapper" observations you want to make.

So- did you meet her or not? I said False.

Oh yeah- I never heard of her either!

Though I define myself as a dilettante, you define its connotation of snobbery.  

LOU REED's glory days were over before Laurie Anderson.  He made a lot of money only compared to an artist like Laurie Anderson.  Financial success is only one measure, but it advises: Give the People what they want!  

I worked in the computer industry since the 1980s, more than 40 years ago when I was a whippersnapper.  The dawn of the Information Age would have been before you were born.

Gosh, RC, the original question kinda got lost, didn't it? 

Nah, mate, I made the whole thing up.

I knew someone in Austin who had intimate relations with both Colin Farrell and Colby Donaldson, and was very gabby about both of them, but who got shot down cold by Billy Bob Thornton.
