Lou Reed and Lola Schnabel introduced the live Berlin movie at the U.S. premiere at Art Basel, Miami Beach on Dec. 8, 2007. OK, Lou was a bit of an old, whinny dick, bitching about flash photography like some cranky old man. At times, I thought he would strangle some of the photogs. Still, that's just him (anyone ever hear him bitching on the various takes for the Velvet Underground & Nico album?). God live the jerky. That said the movie was powerful and great to see on the big screen. People were applauding every song after the second song. It's a great live film with some amazing revisioning of some classic songs.
don't forget that Lou Reed , Bob Dylan and Paul Simon and others are all tiny Jewish guys who write great songs!!
