Re: RIP Lou Reed
That's the first track of a playlist (don't know how to get the whole thing to embed and loop), the link to the list is:
01 Lou Reed - berlin live Intro - YouTube
Don't know if the track listing of the film is the same as the CD.
Also no idea how long these will hang out. This is exactly the circumstance when rights-holders start scrubbing.

Re: RIP Lou Reed
I agree, but I'm cutting the critics a break. Rather than skinned alive I'm just going to call them vapid and gutless.
Seems like it was hard to keep up with Lou Reed. From what I understand, the subject matter of Berlin was pretty far ahead of the times for pop music. It's difficult material. Drugs, spousal abuse, suicide, social services taking the kids away, prostitution - a hard slice of reality is pretty fucking real, but that doesn't make it any less hard.
Shit, we're 2500 years out and Oedipus Rex is a tough sell to pop audiences. "I fucked your mom" is a joke between bros, but there ain't no room for the tragedy of "I fucked my OWN mom" in today's world.
When did Berlin come out?... 1973?
Amy Winehouse gets commercial success and critical cunnilingus for "Rehab" in 2006 - like you gotta have big tits and a big nose to get any attention from the respect mongers.
How much airplay did Lou get in 1995 for "Sex With Your Parents" ?
Fuck it, Festus. Keepin' the Faith is a private enterprise. The government don't wanna help, and corporate power is working to keep the truth unpopular.
So in terms of Art and Truth it looks like it's you, me, and an anonymous legion of people who know how to ride the timeless vibe that winds its way through the ages.
Music Is The Best.
