yeti 'nother eric ~
yeah! sorry it took me so long to get back to responding. i was overjoyed
recently to found this out while listening to susan stanberg interview
laurie anderson on NPR. laurie 'fessed up that she has said it many times,
but assured that it was originally steve martin who coined the phrase. i
was pleased to find this out, but kind of shocked. i'd always thought it
would have been monk for sure.
who knows? they could all be in on some weird musical comedic plot to
confuse the intellectuals of the world. but then again, i've never known
ms. anderson to tell an untruth. "the sun _is_ coming up like a big bald
head!" (i saw her live back in '87 ~ amazing!)
later ~ craig~
