Now in this book there are a lot of stories about talking animals: talking snakes, and birds, and fish; and about people who try to communicate with them.
John Lilly, the guy who says he can talk to dolphins, said he was in an aquarium and he was talking to a big whale who was swimming around and around in his tank.
And the whale kept asking him questions telepathically.
And one of the questions the whale kept asking was: do all oceans have walls?
You know, I've always thought that one of the most serious defects of the human body was that you couldn't close your ears.
You can't point them anywhere or close them, they just sort of hang there on the sides of your head.
But an acupuncturist explained to me that the pressure points in the ears are very important because the whole body is represented right there in the ear.
The ears, he said, are vestigial fetuses, little versions of yourself, one male and one female, and he showed me here's the lobe, that's the miniature upside down head, and this curve here is the spine, and right here are the little genitals, and that was when I went back to wearing hats.
Laurie Anderson (nata Laura Phillips Anderson) è un'artista americana poliedrica, nota per la sua musica sperimentale, le performance teatrali innovative e l'utilizzo di tecnologie elettroniche. Nata nel 1947 a New York, ha iniziato la sua carriera negli anni '70 come musicista avant-garde, combinando elementi di musica classica, jazz e elettronica con testi poetici e narrazioni surreali. La sua performance iconica "O Superman" (1981) le ha conferito fama internazionale, raggiungendo il successo nelle classifiche musicali e anticipando l'uso di sintetizzatori e campionamenti nella musica pop. Anderson è stata una pioniera nell'integrazione di tecnologia e arte, utilizzando computer, video e strumenti elettronici per creare spettacoli multimediali coinvolgenti. Tra i suoi album più importanti figurano "Big Science" (1982), "Home of the Brave" (1986) e "Bright Red" (2005). Oltre alla musica, Anderson ha lavorato anche al cinema, alla televisione e al teatro, ricevendo numerosi premi per le sue creazioni artistiche. Tra i suoi brani più rappresentativi ricordiamo "O Superman", "Walking on the Moon", "Sharkey's Day" e "The Ugly One".
