Laurie Anderson: "Homeland"—"The Crash"

Fenway Bergamot, Laurie Anderson's male alter ego, featured on her 2010 album "Homeland," revisits the early days of the financial meltdown of 2008. Here, he invokes a classic film trope to warn listeners of the impending doom, exclaiming: "There's trouble out at the mine!"

Anderson on demonstrating this filter at airport security: "I'd say, now this is what I like to think of as the voice of authority... [I'd explain] I used it for songs that were...about various forms of control, and they would say, now why would you want to talk like that? And I'd look around at the SWAT teams, and the undercover agents, and the dogs, and the radio in the corner, tuned to the Super Bowl coverage of the war. And I'd say, take a wild guess."

From "The Ugly One With the Jewels"

It's like taking an individual and taking away all the concerns and material subjects and leaving a person full of nothing but pure creativity, art and talent who can express these emotions in beautiful ways. That's Laurie Anderson
