alright. you've been going to lou reed shows for decades, and every time, you came out, thinking, "well, that sucked.' he didn't seem to care. he only 'sang' one 'note.' he hasn't written a decent song since 1973. he appeared bitter and incoherent. and every time you came out saying, but it was lou reed!' or 'that's part of the persona' or something, like this reviewer for the guardian: well, that really, really blew. but the band was ok! three stars. guess what, though? tomorrow is running out of parties. 10. 9. 8...
