A man who had no experience of heroin loved Waiting for the Man; a very straight lady in every sense also loved Wild Side. Interesting phenomenon about Lou Reed songs! Perhaps you've hit on the reason. :)Rosemary Nissen-Wadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05913841031559499568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4139625267522039683.post-71655183221040883082013-11-02T18:59:03.458-04:002013-11-02T18:59:03.458-04:00Rosemary, thanks for the tribute to Lou Reed. Act...Rosemary, thanks for the tribute to Lou Reed. Actually, I always found his singing barely a tetch above Dylan - but then, I'm a jazz snob, used to focus on vocals. Having said that, I think his song, "The Heroine," the waiting for "her," the being dressed in white, rocking the ship on a big trip, a sly nod to the drug that consumed so many great musicians before their time. Ironic, but it's my favorite, because no one thinks much of it. "Wild Side" is the easiest on the ear, and the backup vocals are mind-blowing! Again, my thanks.

I absolutely agree with your choice of Walk on the Wild Side--I'm not sure that it is in fact the best thing for a life well lived and can be very hard for others in one's life to deal with if carried to extremes==but it is a great song, and he definitely pushed the envelope in so many ways, and expressed the wild side for people in a way that allowed them to feel that they too were walking that way, without in fact, taking the risk. Thanks.

Then after meeting Lou Reed and she with a group of William and Mary students, I caught up on the Velvet Underground.
