My opinion of Lou Reed is that he set off this whole transvestite/homo meme.

Maybe he was a talented person, but I never could get past that "wild side" stuff. RIP.

“Maybe he was a talented person, but I never could get past that “wild side” stuff.”

That song was a commentary on the abysmal state of NYC at the time. The unedited “not suitable for airplay” version makes that pretty clear.

If you want to hear an amazing version of Sweet Jane check out Reed’s “Rock and Roll Animal” album.

I always thought it was "The Rocky Horror Picture Show", that started it.
