Take a Walk on the Wild Side...

 

[Texasjack]

Probably not widely known these days, but Reed had a profound effect on rock back in the day. Someone once said that an early album of his only sold 200 copies, but everyone that bought one went out and started a band.

Wild Side was about real folks at a club owned by Andy Warhol. How many covers are there for Sweet Jane? Dozens, at least. Great song.

TMI

All though that doesn't surprise me.

No, that's Jerry Reed. You know, Amos Moses and all.

I freaking love Lou Reed. Personally think VU's Loaded and Lou's Transformer album are 2 of the greatest things I've ever heard.

I AM THE TABLE.

Sorry. Had to.

Call me crazy but I actually liked what I heard of the Metal Machine Music album.
