So Happy Birthday - Laurie Anderson[00:00:01]

JOE: In our country you're free and so you're born[00:00:08]

And so they say "You're free " so happy birthday [00:00:11]

And even if you were born to lose--even if you were[00:00:16]

A complete wreck when you were born--you might still[00:00:18]

Grow up to be president because you're free [00:00:21]

GERALDINE: Today you might be an average citizen [00:00:26]

A civilian a pedestrian But tomorrow you might[00:00:28]

Be elected to some unexpected office--or sell your novel[00:00:33]

And suddenly become famous Or you could get run over[00:00:36]

By a truck and your picture could get into the papers[00:00:41]

_that_ way Because you're free and anything might happen[00:00:44]

so happy birthday [00:00:49]

JOE: Gee All those lights and all those screens [00:00:52]

The New York Experience is mind-boggling I don't think[00:00:55]

I've ever seen that many screens and I'll probably come[00:00:59]

Again It was really amazing mind-boggling [00:01:02]

GERALDINE: You're walking and you don't always realize[00:01:07]

It but you're always falling at the same time With each[00:01:09]

Step you fall forward Over and over you're falling[00:01:14]

And then catching yourself from falling And this is[00:01:19]

How you can be walking and falling at the same time [00:01:22]

JOE: Look Over there It's a real dog and it's really talking[00:01:27]

GERALDINE: I wanted you and I was looking for you [00:01:32]

But I couldn't find you I wanted you and I was looking[00:01:36]

For you all day but I couldn't find you [00:01:40]

JOE: Well I paid my money and I've got this funny feeling[00:01:46]

That somehow--you know--it's not what I paid my money for [00:01:50]

I mean I _paid_ my money and I just don't think this is[00:01:54]

What I paid my money--you know--what I paid my money for [00:01:57]

GERALDINE: No one has ever looked at me like this before [00:02:02]

No one has ever _stared_ at me for so long like this [00:02:06]

This is the first time anyone has ever looked at me like[00:02:11]

This stared at me like this for such a long time [00:02:14]

For so long [00:02:18]

JOE: Well he didn't know what to do so he just decided[00:02:20]

To watch the government and see what the government was[00:02:23]

Doing and then kind of scale it down to size--and run his[00:02:26]

Life that way [00:02:30]

GERALDINE: She said the hardest thing to teach her[00:02:32]

Three-year-old kid was what was alive and what wasn't [00:02:34]

The phone rings and she holds it out to her kid and says [00:02:38]

"It's Grandma Talk to Grandma " But she's holding a[00:02:42]

Piece of plastic And the kid says to herself: "Wait a[00:02:46]

Minute Is the phone alive Is the TV alive What about[00:02:50]

That radio What is alive in this room and what doesn't[00:02:56]

Have life " Unfortunately she doesn't know how to ask[00:03:01]

These questions [00:03:05]

JOE: We were in a large room Full of people All kinds [00:03:07]

And they had arrived at the same time And they were all[00:03:11]

Free and they were all asking themselves the same question:[00:03:14]

What is behind that curtain They were all free And they[00:03:18]

Were all wondering what would happen next [00:03:21]

GERALDINE: This is the time and this is the record of the time[00:03:24]
