Still no story in the New York Times. That will be the nail in the coffin, so to speak, for me.

Re Blue clip about his Dodgers departure trauma, I always took him for a Mets fan, cuz first time I saw him live (Capitol Theater, Passaic NJ, 1984) the crowd chanted "Looooouuu" and he said "That sounds like you want Mookie Wilson."

So wait, this weekend Arthur C. Danto and Lou Reed, two guys with a strong Warhol connection. Who is the third one who should be running scared?

I'm mostly glad I went to see him a few times when I had the chance. Got to hear Laurie playing the Cale part while he sang "Venus in Furs," that counted as a lifetime musical highlight.

i just loved the way in which he was just so straightforward about stuff (his way of writing a song and his subject matter). no bullshit, i mean people may say he glamorised a certain seediness but that was his life

Whether we're talking about music or attitude or leather jackets or lifestyle or whatever, if it weren't for Lou Reed, so many people wouldn't have had stuff to like. RIP, you old grouch.

I used to see him and Laurie eating sushi all the time in midtown in the mid-90s at our favorite spot, but I never said anything because, you know, that's Lou Reed. He's got more attitude than anyone in Jersey.

oooh .. that picture with laurie.damn.
i only have the one vu album, vu + nico, playing it now.it encapsulates so much of what i love about music.always been worried about getting more that i would be disappointed given how special the debut is.a weird reaction i know, but thats the way it is ..
rest easy fella ..
― mark e, Sunday, 27 October 2013 20:55 (ten years ago) link
you should really listen to all of their studio albums plus 1969: VU Live and the compilation titled "VU". they are a different band without Nico but not a worse one. each of the albums is different, in my view, and special in its own way

Many of the group’s themes — among them love, sexual deviance, alienation, addiction, joy and spiritual transfiguration — stayed in Mr. Reed’s work through his long run of solo recordings. Among the most noteworthy of those records were “Transformer” (1973), “Berlin” (1973) and “New York” (1992). The most notorious, without question, was “Metal Machine Music” (1975).Beloved of Mr. Reed and not too many others, “Metal Machine Music”
