They say he didn't have an enemy His was a greatness to behold He was the last surviving progeny The last one on this side of the world
He measured half a mile from tip to tail silver and black with powerful fins They say he could split a mountain in two That's how we got the Grand Canyon
Last Great American Whale [x4]
Some say they saw him at the Great Lakes Some say they saw him off the coast of Florida My mother said she saw him in Chinatown but you can't always trust your mother
Off the Carolinas the sun shines brightly in the day The lighthouse glow ghostly there at night The chief of a local tribe had killed a racist mayor's son and he'd been on death row since 1958
The mayor's kid was a rowdy pig spit on Indians and lots worse The old chief buried a hatchet in his head life compared to death for him seemed worse
The tribal brothers gathered in the lighthouse to sing and tried to conjure up a storm or rain The harbor parted and the great whale sprang full up and caused a hugh tidal wave
The wave crushed the jail and freed the chief The tribe let out a roar The whites were drowned the browns and reds set free but sadly one thing more
Some local yokel member of the NRA kept a bazooka in his living room and thinking he had the chief in his sight blew the whale's brains out with a lead harpoon
Well Americans don't care for much of anything land and water the least And animal life is low on the totem pole with human life not worth more than infected yeast
Americans don't care too much for beauty They'll shit in a river, dump battery acid in a stream They'll watch dead rats wash up on the beach and complain if they can't swim
They say things are done for the majority Don't believe half of what you see, and none of what you hear It's a lot like what my painter friend Donald said to me "Stick a fork in their ass and turn them over, they're done"

FOR LOU REED RIP B. THE BEGGINING OF TIME - D. 2007
Goodbye Lou Reed Though I never knew you at all You had the grace to hold yourself While those around you crawled They crawled out of the woodwork And they whispered into your brain They set you on the treadmill And they made you change your name
And it seems to me you lived your life Like a candle in the wind Never knowing who to cling to When the rain set in And I would have liked to have known you But I was just a kid Your candle burned out long before Your legend ever did
Loneliness was tough The toughest role you ever played Hollywood created a superstar And pain was the price you paid Even when you died Oh the press still hounded you All the papers had to say Was that Marilyn was found in the nude
Goodbye Lou Reed From the young man in the 22nd row Who sees you as something as more than sexual More than just our Marilyn Monroe

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/f123/katiezo/marchb/rrmoreheader.jpg I'd like to say a few words about a guy I know, a friend of mine. His name is Lou Reed, and he has the heart of a giant and that rare form of courage which allows him to kid himself and his opponent -- cancer. He has a mental attitude which makes me proud to have a friend who spells out "courage," 24 hours a day, every day of his life. Now, you flatter me by giving me this award. But I say to you here and now, Lou Reed is the man of courage who should receive this award. It's mine tonight and Lou Reed's tomorrow. I love Lou Reed. And I'd like all of you to love him too. And tonight, you hit your knees: please ask God to love him.

It's very rare in life to know someone who affects things; changes them in a positive way. I've been lucky enough to have known some in my life: Andy Warhol, Doc Pomus. People whose vision and integrity was such that it moved the world a bit. People who, through the articulation of their talents and intelligence, were able to leave things better than they had found them. People who were not only not in it for the money, to paraphrase Lou Reed. Lou Reed was such a person and of the many regrets I have in life, not knowing him a lot better is one of them.
Whether writing symphonies, satirical broadsides or casting a caustic glow across the frontier of madness that makes up the American political landscape; whether testifying before Congress to put the PMRC in its rightful lowly place, or acting as a cultural conduit for President Vaclav Havel and the Czech government, Lou was a force for reason and honesty in the business deficient in those areas. As we reward some with money for the amusement they supply to the cultural masses, I think the induction of Lou Reed in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame distinguishes the Hall as well as the inductee. (applause)
Musicians usually cannot speak. That's why they communicate through their instruments. But Lou was one who could. And because music is pure, the musician is pure as well and when Lou spoke he demonstrated the power of purity. Who will do that now? I admired Lou greatly and I know he admired me. It gives me great pleasure to give this award to his daughter, Edie Brickell.

I saw on a social media site that Will Hermes mentioned spending time in November at a secluded writers retreat place. Maybe we can presume he was working on the book. He’s still writing for Rolling Stone on occasion.
There’s a book out now that consists of Lou Reed interviews from the 1970s and later, called My Week Beats Your Year
