Laurie Anderson had come to Burlington and blown us all away with her stage show at the Flynn Theater, and her "difficult listening hour" skit was a big part of it. I loved her and was enchanted by the concept of challenging listening, listening that takes some concentration and effort. So, I decided to try it out. I am still playing "mandate my ass." This may not be difficult listening by 2009 standards, but it was bt 1984 standards.

Love the ID for Kathy Fors at the beginning.
