I can't say it's a 'simple' way of speaking, just correctly chosen. I find it difficult to listen to him because I miss him. It took about three years for me to listen to him after his death. Things like this remind me of how short and delicate life is. Enjoy it all: nature, music, food, laughter. It's gone too soon.

As a bass player, I really appreciated his remarks. And I always appreciated Lou Reed, adios brother. Here is a story in your memory: My friends and I had decided to attend a Velvet Underground concert in Baltimore. We loved the group and particularly Lou Reed. So we dropped some acid to get in the mood. Sadly we got disoriented and couldn't find the show...we reckoned Lou Reed would understand. Later I hitched to NYC to bop around, and as I came out of a subway, a cat hit on me with a leaflet, it said only, "Lou Reed has surfaced and will be playing at such and such location." I thought, "How cool is that?" When I had my own band, when we did covers the set list always included "Sweet Jane." I had the worst voice so i got to sing it. :) But for some reason I could not play bass on that and had to swap out with the rhythm guitarist. Life would have been pretty boring without Lou Reed.

To put it bluntly, he did not give a fuck. He lived his life his own way and he made the music the way he wanted to. Discovering the music of The Velvet Underground changed my life on so many different levels. His lyrics talked about subject matter which was not acceptable for that time and the music was very LOUD. If he had not been the "in your face type", the music would have never been made or heard by the public. He was determined to spread the word through his music. Love yourself and be who you are, always! He was the original spirit of punk and STILL is.

He DID change & influence Rock'n'Roll, & continues to do so to this day. Musically, socially, politically, he knew how he felt & shared it with us in all he did. He didn't always show it, but his smile is still infectious. The world of Rock'n'Roll would have been completely different without him. Musically, he IS one of the most important people in the last 60yrs when you think about it. Under APPRECIATED though? I guess so, among the general public, maybe. The comments here prove how much his FANS appreciate him. In many ways, he WAS N.Y.C. in the 60ies & 70ies. Some of the things he sang about were not really accepted by the "General population" in the rest of the country, though. From what I understand, he did well in Europe, which helped him gain more fans HERE (It was a MUCH DIFFERENT TIME!!)! Still, it took some time for American audiences to "Get" him, by which time 15ish yrs of his music had already been released. So he didn't have a HUGE START to his career. Still, to this day, if you asked ANYONE in the Rock'n'Roll H.O.F. , they would say that Lou was a very POSITIVE influence on THEM!! I think he's more unknown than underappreciated, or maybe that's part of WHY he is kinda underappreciated by a larger audience. Just some thoughts. Peace!!

Despite probably not feeling well, Lou had enormous patience and professionalism with this interviewer. Why this interview was ever granted is beyond me. I could understand an interview for the New York Times, CBS Morning Show, 60 Minutes, or Rolling Stone (or any magazine of that caliber) but an interview by someone unknown -- awkward & with questions that are inane. It's Lou's last interview & there was nothing to be learned from it. It could've been anyone in a diner with him talking over coffee. Fortunately, he didn't look too physically worn out, just tired. Frank Zappa looked worse propped up in his last interview. Drained, slow & lethargic. Steve Jobs & Freddie Mercury horrible. Skeletons. I'm uncertain what David Bowie's condition was like toward the end. In his final video, he looked strong & vital but that could've been a year earlier. Surprisingly, the bassist for the New York Dolls, Killer Kane did a concert at the Royal Albert Hall in England with the reunited Dolls & returned home to CA only to visit a hospital for exhaustion & learn he had leukemia. He died hours later. He never lived long enough for treatment. Certain serious illnesses are just tricky. I thought Lou Reed would live forever.

This is a unique interview. I am glad I ran across this. It explains so much about him as a person and an artist. Done very well indeed. Thank you.

Lou was a very difficult person to get along with if he thinks that you don t know nothing about music or as an interviewer make dumb statements he cut you down and don t talk or answer any question.i have luck here in argentina i talked to him several times and he was very kind because i m am a true velvet/reed fan he was so intelligent,so clever,so talented that i consider him the most important rock artist that ever lived.his legacy is huge even musicians that are not into v u/reed copy him on one way or another.

@@---yx7ti that's why they said "I consider him." I agree with them, but of course we're (probably) both aware not everyone will.

I was absolutely *devestated* when I heard the news Lou had left Hotel Earth. 😭😭😭😭 I can't emphasize enough how under-estimated, even for all of his fans. Lou was and is. I get that some find his work challenging. But that's also part of the point. Really good guitar players will tell you he could achieve a distortion sound on his guitar that they hedge chart for years trying to get. Any decent lyricist will tell you that his were so incredibly important to establishing rock nroll as an actual form of story-telling beyond the superficiality off "her baby let's fuck under the moon tonite!" (insert testicle crunched vocal expressions here). IOW, Lou opened up RnR lyrics to go beyond the "cock rock" stories of yester year. Unlike Bowie who was always presenting new characters through himself, Lou was always himself when story-telling through songs. His humanity, sensitivity to the hard plight off others, his passion, and his uncompromising courage to follow his artistic visions are key talents of Lous. He wasn't just the songwriter, but also a playwright who could take a topic and translate it through his preferred style of transparency in tackling very "true to Life" stories using THE tool of the electric guitar. Even though he could, and did. do these things, Lou never throw aside that great artistic vision of his by selling out to "what's hot today in music!" trap that so many did do. You could say a lot of things about Lou, but belief in rnr as s credible platform "for and by ANYBODY". His friends and family could see Lou emerge as "legit and always living and creating in a space of about 5 minutes into the future. Eventually, people who blow him off come back to his work later and have that Eureka! moment and finally understand Lou for the visionary he was and *still is*. RIP Lou. See ya on the other side.

Rest in peace Lou Reed, you musical genius, genuinely funny, unabashed, truthful person. The world is a slightly emptier place without you.

Wait a minute..... Lou worked in the forest and worked with chickens ? Didn’t he grow up on Long Island ? I think he was having a bit of fun with the interviewer .
