It gets harder and harder to come up with any defenses as to why I love Lou Reed and his music. Case in point, this video of him performing “What’s Good” for some suits. It’s not whom he’s performing for that bugs me; I couldn’t care less where Lou gets his money. It’s just that he’s become so goddamned boring as of late during his live performances. And the thing is, people eat it up. Like it’s this great honor just to be in the same room with the guy. Way to go, Lou. You butchered up another good song of yours by dragging it out into la-la land and making people think you’re Serious. I liked you more when you were a posturing egomaniac on drugs. At least there was an excuse for your behavior then.
