The Truth About Lou Reed (1942 - 2013)

The Truth About Lou Reed (1942 - 2013) Watch the full "Lou Reed" biography here: https://youtu.be/0AZXKB4cIU0 Lou Reed: A True Rock’N’Roll Original Lou Reed was a rock ’n’ roll bad boy. He abused drugs and alcohol, trashed hotel rooms, cursed at reporters and engaged in bar brawls. Reed was also different. Where most rockers had affairs with supermodels, Reed opted for trysts with transvestites. While typical pop stars sang about how much they missed old girlfriends, Reed sang about bondage and sadomasochism in (“Venus In Furs”). Google the words “Lou Reed” and you’ll find dozens of incidents describing his brutal, selfish, misanthropic behaviour. There was the time he slapped David Bowie after Bowie suggested Reed cut back on his drug and alcohol use. Or the time he called Bob Dylan a “pretentious kike.” (Reed himself was Jewish.) Before his anti-authority attitude became a staple of his performances, a young Lou Reed mastered the art of the prima donna rock star at Syracuse University. As a budding frontman for his band, L.A. and the Eldorados, Reed once refused to play a frigid outdoor gig aboard a boat on the St. Lawrence River. He punctuated his disapproval by smashing his guitar-playing hand through a plate-glass door. “He just didn’t want to play,” said Richard Mishkin, a 1965 SU alumnus who played bass in the Eldorados. “We had to take him to the ER and I told him, ‘Lou, you play guitar like sh*t anyways.’ And he played the show.” ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Subscribe To The Remember This YouTube Channel Here ► https://geni.us/RememberThisChannel ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ 💥 History and Nostalgia Channel (20th Century History Documentaries)💥 Welcome to the Remember This YouTube History and Nostalgia Channel where we discuss thought provoking subject matter from recent the recent past to modern day... get ready for 20th Century History Documentaries content on all things from conspiracy theories to real events and how they shaped our lives.
