RE: (TV) OT: Lou Reed - The Raven

[Scott Simpson <SSimpson@nyc.rr.com>]

i really shouldn't even enter this fray, but i defy you to offer 10 other 
rock & roll writers who've written as powerfully & transcendently at reed 
at his best (i can come up with maybe 5)...granted, this all boils down or 
up to opinion...& i'm not denying that lou's made some stinkers (i'd still 
rather listen to a shit lou reed record than a "good" pavement record or 
whomever...again, opinions).
the VU records alone rank him as a major player & throw in "blue mask", 
"new york", "rock & roll animal" & choice songs off just about every solo 
lp....i'm humbled.


Ummm, you forgot Berlin.

Scott, NYC
