I couldn’t stop laughing when I heard this. “I am the desk lamp.” But the real question is who will buy it? Surely not fans of Metallica. Certainly not fans of Lou. Is this a marriage made in Hari Kari?
Can anyone think of a worse pairing? Seriously Lou, please retire.
OK, so I am the 108,483rd person to have watched this YouTube clip. Hopefully that puts me at least 1 up on some of you. Where was this clip’s creator when this series begged for exclusive debut rights? What would Cliff say?
Rolling Stone reports that Metallica and Lou Reed have teamed up for a full-length record. (LP, CD, release—what do we call this now??)
“A marriage made in heaven,” Reed says in his first interview about the project, in the studio lounge during a break. “I knew it from the first day we played together: ‘Oh, man, this is perfection, right in front of me.’ “
This will surely be the best-selling Lou Reed record in decades, and it does give Metallica some artistic credibility, I guess.
Mostly this will be another bizarre chapter in the musical life of our Lou.
