Lou Reed wrote songs about drugs, squalor, transgressive sexuality, honourable prostitutes, visionary gutter queens & dollar-hustlers. He also wrote some of the most moving love songs of the era, from Pale Blue Eyes to Perfect Day. Always a generation ahead, he would never receive his due until later, when it was almost too late. The Velvet Underground, the group he led under the tutelage of Andy Warhol, were despised in their lifetime. Yet all his greatest solo albums
- from Transformer to Berlin to his last, the Metallica-collaboration, Lulu
- were considered meagre reflections of his best work with the Velvets. The story of Lou Reed is full of such contradictions. From the ECT treatment that scarred him at 17, to the thoughtful, meditative figure Bono now recalls. From his three marriages, to his polysexual relationship with various New York characters, most especially Rachel: a transsexual to whom he dedicated Coney Island Baby. He was a master, said David Bowie, in the wake of Reeds death, on 27 October, 2013. In his lifetime he was called, variously, the Godfather of Punk, the High Priest of Glam, & all sorts of similarly tremble-tremble sobriquets. The truth is, Lou Reed began where rock left off. Before him, it was about entertainment. After him, rock was literary, dark, & above all, disquietingly honest. His work belongs not in the same safe place as The Beatles & the Stones, but next to William S. Burroughs, Hubert Selby Jr, Andy Warhol, & Reeds personal mentor, Delmore Schwartz. Now acclaimed biographer Mick Wall, a lifelong Lou Reed & Velvet Underground fan, brings you the story of the most misunderstood genius in rock.
