Even if Lou Reed were still alive, he said this, never got any flack for it. Funny, Elton John or someone can say something and people will jump all over them.

Of course, there's the famous picture of him being with Bowie and Jagger at what looks like some sort of dinner.

When Keith did his press conference at the New York Library for the release of Life, I thought Lou Reed was in the audience. Does anyone else remember that?

Keef thought enough of Lou to nick the intro to Heroin on Stray Cat Blues.

Also the intros of the Stones version of "Hitch Hike" and VU's "There She Goes Again" are very similiar.

I cant get the connection between stray cat and heroin myself. Then again my wife tells me I'm tone deaf-but that's only to stop me singing in the shower

yep gottcha now. The repeating note-D in the case of Heroin I think. Always liked the intros to both songs now that I think about it.
