Lou Reed is a pop culture and musical icon. His contributions - be they from The Velvet Underground, under the shadow of Any Warhol’s Factory in the ’60s NYC pop-art scene; or his work as a solo artist, penning the musical zeitgeist “Walk On The Wild Side,” and albums that alternately delighted and confounded both fans and critics (see 1975’s Metal Machine Music) - have left an indelible mark on rock ‘n’ roll, underground or otherwise. He also happens to be something of a jerk. Exclusive from synthesisradio.net.

Man, that was pretty intense. He’s every bit the dickhead I imagined he’d be. Way to hang in there though. -Landon
Oh Lou! You crazy crazy guy!
I dunno, could someone please clue me in on how anything he said was “dickhead” or “jerkish”? The most I heard him ask was questions trying to clarify things that any competent journalist should be able to clarify, and Spencer did so.
I would hope that just because someone makes you feel uncomfortable you wouldn’t automatically tell me they are a jerk. Come on, the guys from New York City isn’t he? You gotta expect some leve l of confrontation.
Tell me how naive I am, I’m ready
Didnt’ seem too jerky to me. Imagine how impatient you’d prolly get if you had to sit around and take phone interviews all day and likely hear the same questions over and over.
I sit around and image that all the time (neener).
Can I have an imaginary unkown dork podcast interview please? (I’ll try not to be a jerk)
