I hate when people try to connect everything he does to his past drug use. This man is a sage, he is 68 years old and has seen everything. That is why he has such a different level of thinking. He is fine, he is not depressed; he speaks like that. Stop trying to find some sort of idiotic connection to drugs.
Some interesting "average comments" about "average americans" from an "average talk show". Everyone, even Lou, reaches for the bag of cliches when it is convenient and safe to do so. Nothing original about that.
@BucksStudent This interview is from 2001 (before the Twin Towers even), dumbass. You can tell becuase they talk like Bush just got into office, and the main topic of the interview is his play on Poe, Poe-Try, that opened in Germany in 2000.
lou reed is annoyed with himself for being so condescending. you can see how depressed he is. it's like when you talk to some people and then you feel drained. he's trying to have fun with it, but he can't, because he is zarathustra, in the cave, not part of the tribe. you can see him going thru the tricks, trying to do a groucho marx, and it feels off - i think it's lovely because it reveals his real nature.
Lou is dead on about the state of America. Crime is big business. I call it the Puritan Mafia. Make one wrong turn and prison, like gravity, is waiting for you.
lou is the man, an example of someone who has benefited from drugs. also Ron Paul really is americas only hope- he's going to get us out of the war AND get rid of the DEA
Loooouuuuuuu

Bush actually had been to Europe. I remember him going to visit the Queen at the Palace, and she bitched at him for scaring her flamingos.

@dajcei Oh sorry I see what your saying, I like his style too, so much more enticing than fake smiles and ass kissing.

He said "I know nothing"! A little swipe at Hitler-era Germany...based on that "reality show" HOGAN'S HEROES!
Lou, you're killin us here.... haaaa-ha-ha-!!!
