Laurie Anderson On Lou Reed As A Writer, Their Retirement Plans, And Their Archives

Anderson doesn’t want the archives to go to a university where no one can access them. That said, some things can’t be captured: “The one thing I really miss from this archive that was such a big part of Lou — and can’t really be archived — is his dedication to meditation. He made a very extensive study of the nature of mind, but there is no physical trace of it. He left no footprints.”
