I pretty much felt the same way, although I got a kick out of the dirty lyrics and how they got played on the radio. Also the sax solo (by British sax player Ronnie Ross) is pretty cool.
I never "got" Lou Reed, but a lot of influential artist types in NYC thought he was extremely cool. Also he was a smack addict, and went to the same college I went to, but a few years before I got there.
Hi Steely Tom, I enjoy most music.Not a fan of Hip Hop. I’m knocking on 70 years. My most favorite is Elton John. I love his music since the 70’s. I always said his music has hold the memories of my life. Of course there are many others. I don’t know what a smack addict means.
