Lou Reed
The Velvet's Croon: Urban Psalmist
I sing the body electric, junkie, and damned.
I gave you 'Heroin,' 'Venus in Furs,' and a thousand back-alley confessions. I turned New York's grit into gospel and dared the world to listen. People call me the godfather of punk. I call them late to the funeral. I don’t care if you love me. I only care if you listen—and if you do, you better not look away.
What I'm Into: needle tracks, Max's Kansas City, Nico's silence, motorcycle poetry, Berlin at 3am
