[00:03.06]Ladies and gentlemen please welcome back to London Laurie Anderson
[00:30.49]Ooooaaaah
[00:44.33]Ooooaaaah
[00:54.42]Hi This evening I'll be reading from a book
[01:01.29]I just finished and since a lot of it is about the future
[01:07.77]I'm going to start more or less on the last page
[01:13.14]And tell you about my grandmother
[01:19.35]Now she was a Southern Baptist Holy Ruler
[01:22.98]And she had a very clear idea about the future
[01:28.47]And of how the world would end
[01:32.11]In fire
[01:33.34]In fire
[01:36.95]Like in Revelations
[01:38.32]Like in Revelations
[01:42.88]And when I was ten my grandmother told me
[01:46.13]The world would end in a year
[01:49.69]So I spent the whole year praying and reading the Bible
[01:54.76]And alienating all my friends and relatives
[01:59.66]And finally the big day came
[02:04.82]And absolutely nothing happened Just another day
[02:16.28]Ooooaaaah
[02:21.84]Now my grandmother was a missionary
[02:24.16]And she had heard that the largest religion in the world was Buddhism
[02:30.27]So she decided to go to Japan to convert Buddhists
[02:35.99]And to inform them about the end of the world
[02:38.56]And to inform them about the end of the world
[02:44.17]And she didn't speak Japanese
[02:47.08]So she tried to convert them with a combination of
[02:49.80]Hand gestures sign language and hymns in English
[02:59.42]Ooooaaaah
[03:06.67]The Japanese had absolutely no idea what she was trying to get at
[03:14.23]And when she got back to the United States
[03:17.42]She was still talking about the end of the world
[03:21.44]And I remember the day she died
[03:24.64]She was very excited
[03:27.35]She was like a small bird perched on the edge of her bed
[03:31.51]Near the window in the hospital
[03:33.52]Waiting to die
[03:36.43]And she was wearing these pink nightgowns
[03:40.04]And combing her hair so she'd look pretty for the big moment
[03:45.71]When Christ came to get her
[03:50.63]Ooooaaaah
[03:53.45]And she wasn't afraid but then
[03:57.15]Just at the very last minute something happened that changed everything
[04:05.15]Because suddenly at the very last minute she panicked
[04:13.63]After a whole life of praying and predicting the end of the world she panicked
[04:22.20]And she panicked because she couldn't decide whether or not to wear a hat
[04:36.11]Ooooaaaah
[04:42.82]And so when she died she went into the future in a panic
[04:52.84]With absolutely no idea of what would be next
