Time to revisit.<br /><br />Love that line of Laurie's: "que es mas macho? School bus, or lightbulb?" It's so nonsensical, yet grounded in the quotidian. And for me, too - Perfect Day. Saw Lou play once around 1989 in San Francisco - some VU, some of his old stuff, but mostly his newer work. He appeared more energized with that, though it was evident the crowd (me, too) wanted the classics.<br /><br />Cool post, Marian.

The stories he told with his songs made me want to know those people. I'd never seen "Street Hassle" before, so I really enjoyed that. It was cool to hear Bruce at the end of it too. You can hear Reed's influence in his early work.Lolamousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12508347229501155001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2542041444980449672.post-38259095206175481252013-11-29T08:24:23.873-06:002013-11-29T08:24:23.873-06:00Sacrilege!
