Why do people rate Lou Reed?
I cannot see any appeal in the fellow at all. His records are rubbish, and he comes across as such a monumentally pompous twat that I am completely baffled as to why the prick has been hero-worshipped for 40 years.

Walk on The Wild Side is especially fucking bent.

Still, he can console himself with riches and fame.

And by dressing up like a woman and being a cunt.
And by getting calls from Susan Boyle about what kind of day she's having.

I don't think anyone could be ready for your jelly.

I'm going to Needoo with my in laws in a couple of weeks
I'm already salivating at the thought. I was rehearsing what we should order in the van on the way to work this morning.

I regularly daydream about Needoo's.

sounds a bit like nando's to me

( rachelswipe with a fork, Fri 27 Jan 2012, 10:46, Reply)

I always think of it as a place for needy people

Nando's is where pretentious commoners go
instead of Pizza Hut.

Don't let Gonz hear you say that.

I meant Needos
But you are correct, Nando's is just a rebranded KFC.

Even his stuff with The Velvet Underground?
Also, I'm sure there is a track on one of the Nuggets volumes from his days as a jobbing songwriter.
You're right about his solo stuff though.

I see what you've done there...
Fair enough you don't like Dylan, but it would be inaccurate to describe his records as rubbish.

Well it would be accurate
just not preferable in your eyes
