Lou Reed

“It doesn’t get any better than that”.

A mysterious song.

“It’s not all about soloing.”

The blueprint.

“A nice idea but not a very realistic one.”

Lou Reed espouses admiration in a classic review.

Zappa “just couldn’t tolerate” these unwelcome visitors from back East.

Not mincing his words.

“I fired him.”

From the page to the stage.

Don’t hold back, Lou.

“Marvellous.”
