Simon & Schuster | 1995 | ISBN: 0684803666 | 448 pages | PDF (scans) | 82 MB
The life and transformation of rock pioneer and poet Lou Reed. The chronicles of Reed's life from adolescence in Freeport, New York, to his involvement with Warhol and the Velvet Underground. Also covered are his glam and punk rock phases, his reunion with the Velvet Underground in 1993, and his recent association with Laurie Anderson. The author does a good job of providing balance in presenting Reed's career through a multitude of interviews with Reed's cohorts as well as Reed himself. This first full biography of the influential performer and songwriter is an important addition to the genre. It is thereby recommended for large public libraries and academic music collections.
