Lou Reed (placeholder)

How i said i was on the concert- i get a photo pass as the only person on whole concert – so all the time i was at the edge of the scene making photos. A the end when i was going out from the building i saw that Lou is gpoing out as well so i took my camera and made one more picture – but with a flash – so he asked me to come and asked for my name, took my tciket draw a heart and three xxx his name and when he was trying to spell my name – all his crew was laughing. Its nothing big but i really liked this concert and as usual Lou was amaizing.

I’m so excited – next month Lou Reed will have a tour in UK and i’m gonna go to Manchester to see/listen to him. I’m looking forward to this. Perhaps there is any other person who is going for the same concert. I already can’t wait.

So the second time was less interesting – I saw him and Laurie Anderson at a museum, they were looking at the art like normal (?!) new yorkers.

the first time is a more fun story – I had told my boyfriend a few weeks earlier that if I EVER met lou reed i would ask him a specific question about his lyrics – where is “becky’s” that he speaks of in the song “eggcream?” the reason i made this promise was that i didn’t want to go on a wild goosechase throughout brooklyn looking for this place.

but then, i actually ran into lou! so i had to ask him! he was sitting behind me at a concert with laurie anderson, and i was polite, and asked if i could ask him something. i said “you know the song egg cream?” he said “yes.” (duh.) i said “well, you talk about becky’s…” and he interrupted – “i made it up.” “what?” “i made it up, junior’s didn’t rhyme.”

so, what he told me didn’t even make sense, but i thanked him, and that is my lou reed story.

he was very nice, and it is kind of a cool thing in retrospect that i didn’t just say YOU CHANGED MY LIFE or something like that.

His music is amazing, his stories and emotions. Sometimes they are just decadent but it make you feel good. Just i love to listen to his voice. Thats the real music which is still good over the years – in contrary to one season pop stars
