Yeah Lou; thanks for thread; just keeping his name out there is good; so many periods; so much stuff that is personally important to me; i really appreciate the guidance here in the things that you love from him; cause i tend to KNOW fo sho where i always go to usually for him; and i do ab miss some great stuff along his very long long road of accomplishment; i'd def say brilliance; but i also have equal respect, in a different way cuz they're not writers; for Sterling Morrison and Mo; the unheralded Velcets; the not quite so fashionable ones who were the heart and true soul in many ways; Lou did NOT do this alone; that environment and sensitivity was there. He went home to Mama pretty fkd up a lot of times and left that band at their peak promoting LOADED, a super super super super super incredibly super album all through every track imo...
but i lived and died for White Light White Heat and the banana original LP; early on they were making this incredible dense junk noise that only certain dogs could really hear; i swear it was like that at first., they were nothing and they were really spomething because they were obviously originally out there deynamic dramatic dangerous for realz, like the stones well not LIKE the stones but you know; like that eoms album; some real clear heavy shyit behind the scenes not that boy scouts of america; or come to think of it; let's don't go there...
and Rock and Roll Animal; man did you guys in UK and Euro get that?
I think you might have even more than here;?
you guys had that harder blues-rock that went crazy,
kind of influence with some great great heavy seminal bands....
so maybe i don't know; not so big here but to me,
that
"rock and roll animal" live;
well it might have even been recorded overseas; i dunno;
and i guess that guitarist is a rocket launcher too,
but it just still knocks me the eff out;
and look at him during this period; the total heroin poof 42nd street wifeyboy who's about to bitch off and def walks out with the tude and power;
b4 a note; he's killed you;
or she has or it has; no he's all man that Lou Reed; in the bvest sense imo; a powerhouse of soul what the eff that New York LP out of the blue????
i think david bowie gets quite the run for the money and pound for pound action with this kinda guy on the scene since 1966 mah dear friends I say respectfully; I met him once; just briefly but totally casually where he was comfortabled and unguarded and a very very easy real cat to love...that brown eyed blue eyed gaze intense direct; his face relaxed; he wasn't fkd up; i wasn't even on medical cannabis those days...and didn't drink either, so tho brief, casual, a little funny; i'm sure he didn't remember my name that evening particularly, def not a few days later; not claiming a real connection w him personally; justa brief talk, a laugh at a get together so casual we could just talk without fans coming up. I find that so annoying every day; heh heh...he actually had heard a song i was involed in from a friend of mine who he was visiting! but he didn't say lol it was any good or that he liked it; he musta meant to tho!!! my charisma probs distracted him.....ouch...it's like the ghost of my ex wife just smacked me in the back of the head and said This is why I left yyou....
well however it happened I"m grateful....
reed:
holy geezer; wtf; like only incredible; he was still in it heavy at peak; i mean singing with pavorotti was not out of the question; so he did it.
Pavorotti veins popping in his head 'EEETTSSS SUCCCHHH A PURRRFFIICTTT DAAAAAAYYYYYYYY I LUVVVVVVVVVVV TO SHRRRRRRRRRRITTTTTTT W YOUUUUUUUUU
holy shit loud reed hands a verse off to him; holy moly; what's next lou?
tights and alvin ailey? a race change op along with a sex change? nope. that loud reed was all man i tell ya....on the record; tough little punk for a long island kid or wherever....mamas boy....fkn King was mamas boy too....
lennon too come to think of it....
holy shit mick for all we know...
k just had doris right? that bert thing he tried to reconcile; love and acceptance all that; but he was probs pretty crippled by it in some way or maybe i shnould not play psychotherapist; i've beenlisteing to 'pscyotherapy' buyt the ramones, and hey, they always inspire the research scientist in me. i geuss they do that for everyone tho.
tho now that i've started.... ..... well...
maybe it ain't so much that mick didn't need no brother cuz he already had one; that smirky little buzzard.....like ol' needy keith was the inference...but maybe dr. hopkins wonder anyway...it twas mick had teacher dad and loving mom; and maybe well i dunno about doris; other than someone murdered his cat or something....he think he's still pissed off...
maybe ruby tuesday was about that cat, you never know...goodbye ruby tuesday who could hang a chevy on your neck....who knows you know???
john wrote julia sea shell eyes calling...keith wrote "I'm paying for dinner, and I might as well mop in here" ...so you know... clues.
lou....
'she started playing that (falsetto way up an octive FINE FINE) musick, you know her life was saved by rock and roll. rock and roll.
despite all the complications you could go out and dance to the rock and roll station....
and it was alright
and it was alright
and it was alright
