Laurie is the only expert.

I'm surprised she went on Letterman again after he treated her like shit during her first appearance.

@jackal59

They solved issues they had at the backstage. ;DD

Tell me more about it since I didn't have chance to see the show.

@TanyavsManya She stated in her book that she performed "Walk the Dog" on his show in 1983 (I think) and after he asked what that was. She said "country-western I think". Afterwards, she was never invited back.... until this.

Now of all the songs to perform "Walk the Dog" is a weird one! There is nothing close to mainstream TV about this (which is probably why she chose to perform it!).

Laurie Anderson's uber-creative bent and biting wit wouldn't find a home on many shows... thanks for Letterman. But do check out the full length version on her site and many others. The lyrics are more incisive than even what she did here.
