note: 1.) interview: “One of my rules is: Never listen to your old stuff. If you do that, then you’re not a musician anymore, then you’re just a self-satisfied nostalgic idiot who’s not interested in inventing anything. I think life is far too short to concentrate on your past. I rather look into the future.” (Lou Reed, interview) 2.) very much in the mood for early punk. That hazy explosion of something.

“Of course I’ve had it in the ear before.” I’m remembering and old friend who was always mighty impressed with that “of course.”
It amuses me when a singer can deliver intricate phrase in a tight space, but during interview they couldn’t seem to say a single noise resembling a word. Louis Armstrong likes to play that game with reporter. I think Iggy plays that brain dead drawl every time MTV asks him question.
On tangent: cool clip with Tom Waits and Iggy in ” Coffee and Cigarettes” (hilarious movie.)
Lust ‘for’ Life.
