Opening Monologue:

I’m rich russo and this is a special one hour tribute

to Lou Reed who passed away this morning in the Hamptons due to complications

from his recent liver transplant. No artist of huge influence could ever have a

perfect body of work, perhaps maybe the Beatles and Buddy Holly’s body of work

approaches perfection, but that’s probably it, Dylan has given us some clunkers, as

have the Stones, and Zeppelin, and Springsteen and U2 and so on.

And Lou Reed too, like those aforementioned artists the influence well outweighs

the volume of product the record labels put out to capitialize on it, those

endless compilations, live albums and boxed sets.

Lou Reed’s influence on generations of misfits and outcasts who found

salvation via a white light at the end of the tunnel, has given us some of the

best rock and roll ever. Lou’s gritty New York City depictions of drugs,

prostitution, shock therapy, bisexuality, anger, rebellion and even indifference

was numbing and eye opening at the time. Lou wasn’t going for shock value, he

was telling it like it was.

He wasn’t an artist seeking shock value as publicity stunts such as the

artists of today, then again you could argue that Andy Warhol himself was one

big publicity stunt.

Regardless Lou Reed was an artist, an innovator, a experimenter, a contrarian,

who embodied a part of New York that is now gone forever, he will be missed.

Over the next hour we’ll try to cover as much of Lou and his legacy as we can.

We began with what I feel is the definitive live version of Sweet Jane, from the

1995 Rock hall of fame concert with Soul Asylum as his backing band..

And now we’ll go back the beginning of Lou’s musical journey with something recorded

when he was a sixteen year old from Long Island, with his doo wop band the

Jades in 1958, this is one of the first songs Lou had written that was published

and recorded, he sings back up as well..

This is the Jades with Leave her for Me…
