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

I was at this residency with Will and we roadtripped to Liberty University (!) together for a bizarre tour.

Weird, I didn't even know the anniversary was coming up and got a compulsion to listen to New York last night. And then the Blue Mask.

Was there ever a source for the Donald Fagen/Lou Reed story other than the comments section of Alex in NYC's blog?
