This is quite lovely and sweet. I've been a fan of Laurie since '82, really love her work, just saw "Delusion" last night. They certainly look happy in this, and that makes me happy, too.
Lou was and was drugged and given shock treatments for being gay. He was openly gay in the early seventies, and long term lovers with Rachel, a transvestite, and then married a dominatrix who he had a really kinky, S/M relationship with. It seems to me that he's never quite been able to sort all out, but who can blame him, after all that he's been through? I'm glad he's with Laurie now, but think that he'd probably be gay, had he not suffered the abuse.
I've always loved this song, but after watching Lou and Laurie perform it together it transforms from an isolated account of a possible line of introspection into the communication of an intimate exploration of the dynamics of a relationship between two lovers. The song is given new life.
Love it, really nice to see them working together and enjoying it so much. Waiting for her Homeland performance in my area next month. Thanks for posting this!
AMAZING to see laurie smile in a very different way. shez 'let her hair down' from her usual hi tech material and gone with lou... very simple & relaxed! 'shez taking "an emotional walk on the wild side" maybe? looks like she adores mr reed ... just a look i've never seen on her face. makes me SO happy to see...
As far as I've heard they've only been going out together since the mid / late 1990s. And they look *really* in love here - they are both absolute professionals and either can't or don't want to hide it.
Hey Lisa, can I see you on Thursday?
WOW-WE

I think lou reed is a asshole . . in the early 1980's he was beatin'n up a fan in montreux which had just rolled a joint for him . . ! !

Lou Reed is a lucky man to have Laurie in his life. Laurie is really a true artist and I hope she will never stop performing.
