    Lou Reed was a stoic character, reluctant to show positive emotions. Here though, he is looking his friend, his saviour in many ways, his mentor and looking at him singing his song with such gusto. And all the tough exterior emotions melt away.

    You know, back in the mid-70s, Lou Reed ceremoniously and rather loudly fell in love with David Bowie.. there were entire interviews and articles written about it -- primarily in Creem Magazine, a rock mag that was the best of the best back in those days. I always wondered if it was true. 1 minute into this video and I knew that it was and remained for a long time :) Reed loved his Bowie, just like the rest of us :)

      He did not say it per se, but he went off the deep end when talking of him.. if you can somehow get ahole of any of the older (mid 1970s) interviews with Reed by LESTER BANGS, you are on your way of uncovering what I speak of :) It was a delicious timeframe and if you find them, you will understand!.

If they don't, they just haven't listened enough. They will be future Bowie fans... You watch sometime in the future-hopefully a few decades from now-How many people will come out of the woodwork so to speak and talk about how great he was. After he passes, is what I meant to say.

      Lou Reed and the rest of The Velvet Underground have been credited with influencing some of the best bands in history. Bowie has also been credited with influencing some the greatest musicians in history. That's one dynamite duo right there. We also know that they both were switch hitters so I am sure there may have been something there.

Although Bowie later became sort of a mentor of Lou Reed in glam rock era, the influence was really both sided.
