Lou Reed was both an avant-rock forefather and a legendary crank, and I sincerely recommend that you spend some time with this Lester Bangs piece
about a contentious Reed interview. PBS recently animated an interview
that Joe Smith conducted with Reed in 1987, and it has a lot of
interesting stuff about what Reed was trying to do with the Velvet
Underground. He says that he wanted to inject adult ideas into rock and
roll, and people were not trying to hear it: “I write a song called
’Heroin’ and you would’ve thought that I’d murdered the Pope or
something.” He also has some harsh words for some of his contemporaries
who were also trying to test the bounds of the medium, though
not in ways that Reed thought were particularly interesting.
