An old friend died a couple of weeks ago, someone I remember spending a lot of time with at university, a lot of it playing Lou Reed and Velvets records while off our faces at like 2am. It was only last week I put Berlin on and pretty much lost my shit at the last four tracks, devastating. RIP.

When Vanity Fair magazine asked him to give his definition of abject misery a few years ago, Reed's response was simply: "Being interviewed by an English journalist".

xposts I'm sure they're all trying to confirm independently. But I can also imagine that that's hard, especially on a Sunday, and it's not hard to believe that RS happens to have sources on this that others don't have easy access to.

Re Blue clip about his Dodgers departure trauma, I always took him for a Mets fan, cuz first time I saw him live (Capitol Theater, Passaic NJ, 1984) the crowd chanted "Looooouuu" and he said "That sounds like you want Mookie Wilson."

So wait, this weekend Arthur C. Danto and Lou Reed, two guys with a strong Warhol connection. Who is the third one who should be running scared?

I'm mostly glad I went to see him a few times when I had the chance. Got to hear Laurie playing the Cale part while he sang "Venus in Furs," that counted as a lifetime musical highlight.
