Bacon and ice cream? Sanskrit read to a pony?

What? The thread title doesn't refer to the Lou Reed song?

Welcome to MoFo! :blush:

Thanks Tatty loved that, I am a big fan of Lou, I saw him back in the seventies, he was so stoned he could hardly sing, most people left the venue, in the end someone came and took him off stage :eek: he is looking better these days :yup:

I'm jealous, nebbie. :)

I've never seen Reed live and wouldn't mind if he was completely stoned off his nuts. It's a shame that most ex-addict rock singers are such joyless dullards these days, it must be the endless NA meetings.

Lou's still a fantastic songwriter but I wouldn't wanna be trapped in a lift with him... :D

First time I can remember hearing Lou Reed was when a friend put "Walk on the Wild Side" on a mix tape for me. I dug it, though I didn't usually go for those talk-singing performance-arts-like songs. But it exuded enough style that I enjoyed it.

Granted, that's all I know about him, but I figured based on that alone he'd probably done a truckload of drugs.

I think the first Lou Reed song I digested (as opposed to just 'hearing' - WOTWS is pretty ubiquitous) was I Love You Suzanne from nineteen eightygodIfeelold

His record company was obviously after some of that Dancing In The Dark money 'cos the video featured a fantastically embarrassed looking cap-sleeve t-shirt wearing Lou dancing with a girl he'd plucked out of the crowd at a live show. I wondered who this strange, slightly monkey-faced guy was.

Then I bought Transformer a few years later and then New York in '89 (1989 was my Year Zero for music, by the way) and was hooked. Polar opposites of records - Transformer is filled with classic pop songs and New York some of the best songwriting I've ever heard. ;)
