Notes: NEW YORK - The Knitting Factory in New York City is always ready for >anything when John Zorn plays. But Zorn's Chamber Masada found some most >unusual guests in the audience for the second set on Thursday night, May >15. Lou Reed and Laurie Anderson played host to Czech Republic president >Vaclav Havel and his new wife and U.S. Secretary of State Madeline Albright >and their entourage. > >Havel, in town for talks that may bring the Eastern Block into NATO, >contacted Lou Reed prior to his visit to arrange a bit of sightseeing and >clubhopping during his New York sojourn. Reed, who has been seen numerous >times recently at the Knitting Factory as both performer and spectator, >contacted Knitting Factory founder Michael Dorf to arrange a special >reception for Havel. Dorf let John Zorn know what would be happening in >advance, and plans were made. The Knitting Factory was crawling with >secret service before long, and the best was yet to come... > >Little did anyone know that Havel and his wife, escorted by Reed and Laurie >Anderson, would also invite Secretary of State Madeline Albright, holder of >the third highest office in the country. Ms. Albright and Havel >immediately engaged in animated conversation, whereupon Zorn, from the >stage, peered up to the balcony and said, "You up there, shut the f**k up, >listen to the music!" whereupon conversation did in fact cease. > >Needless to say an international incident did not occur. Everyone reported >having a terrific time and enjoyed the music greatly. Even Zorn knew it >had been an historic occasion, and gave Dorf a wink on his way out the >door. >
