When I yesterday read that he died, I couldn't get
rid of one of his
songs. In my mined I heard one song again and again.
It's a well known song, while I prefer songs of The Velvet
Underground, yesterday none of those songs was in my mind, just that
hit from him bothered me.
This comes to mind by the the discussion about "I remember something
my father said when I was very small. "If you *really* enjoy
something, never do it as a job". He was right."
To make a living out of something often is far away from the good
emotions, ok, this is another thread.
What song comes to your minds, when thinking of Lou Reed?
I bet most will hear the same song as I did hear in my mind.
Is the song you hear in your mind, the best song he performed?
The first song that comes to my mind is "Venus in Furs", but I love all
"The Velvet Underground & Nico" songs. Those songs have a certain
quality to them that I enjoy.
