As Reed once famously put it, he makes albums for adults. No wonder Lou's week beats our year when we still can't read an album with sensitivity and awareness.

Have you ever heard any albums by Lou Reed other than New York, Set The Twilight Reeling, or Ecstasy?

Yes Mr. Harrison, I, too, had difficulty stomaching this reviewer's opinions. Don't be too hard on him about his writing skills, most people in America are incapable of putting together a proper letter. An apology is in order.

Is this reviewer retarded? How many conflicting stances will he take in order to be appealing to those who like Lou Reed and to also appeal to those who hate Lou Reed. Get a backbone, study some more music, take a writing class and then try to write a review. But before that, write an apology letter to everyone who had to read this moronic drivel..

Lou was at his absolute peak in Portland, Oregon last Sunday night. The best I have heard or seen...the entire band was incredible! Hope this is a sign that he is going to stop neglecting his loyal left coast fans.

Okay, enough of this Modern Dance talk for now. You are right, Mystic Child does kick ass; but, all things considered, my very favorite is Paranoia Key of E.

Enough of this Modern Dance talk---it is Mystic Child that is the most kick-ass song on the record. No arguements there, I am sure.

Jordan,
The transgendered thing - to those unfortunate enough to be burdened with it - does not go away. The parenthetic note in my previous mailing to you was a simple courtesy to Lou. You shouldn't use the word reduce with respect to my commentary and, I maintain Lou did intend the song to be about about gender confusion (nothing to do with a kilt - that's just Lou being silly), though I've never heard his comments on any of the individual songs, he told me that I was in for a treat when I played the album, and I do not think the song could be about any thing else. How am I to defend that - it's my interpretation...he is mentioning various cultures all of which make very strong distinctions between men and women..."the roles are shifting"..."you don't know who you're with"...there are not many specifics to which a regular person could relate. Play it again with these things in mind.
If I'm invited to Laurie's next BAM event and I'm able to attend I would like to discuss this with you.

Jessica--
I'm aware of Lou's transgendered days. I think to reduce "Modern Dance" to gender issues is to not give it enough credit. The lyrics are vague, purposely so, I believe. Perhaps Lou intended the song to be about gender confusion, maybe you even heard him say so on NPR or something. But to pick up the disc and hear it for the first time and declare it to be about gender issues is absurd. Other than a line about wearing a kilt, what specifically are you basing this on?
Oh, and, yes, I live in New York. Maybe we could discuss this at Laurie's next BAM event?

The song is about gender roles as they vary in different parts of the world. If you don't know Lou has (or at least had) gender issues - you've not been paying attention all these years. Are you in New York also?

Saw Lou last night in the Albert Hall, London, Uk.
Absolutey brilliant. Shockingly good. Hadn't heard the album but I danced all night. Gave us two encores too including Sweet Jane and Perfect Day.
Cheers Lou

I love Lou too, despiite some of the trite lyrics it all comes together and the whole package makes so much sense!
Don't imagine Lou would like the image of wine drinking - from any kind of cup...he and I don't do that kind of thing to ourseves anymore

I first heard Lou on a Sunday am- Side 1 "Rock and Roll Animal" played on a college radio marathon. Hooked then and hooked now. The new CD is amazing. It draws you in as it spits you out. Speaks of frights and delights and you wonder if you are going to come away from a listening with a distorted view of the world or a more accurate perspective of life. Buy it and be challenged.(ps love the review)
