Pavarotti is like, nigga please, ima' show you how to sing.

You're actually totally incorrect to say what the song is or isn't about. Refer to French literary critic Roland Barthes - 'the author is dead.' The song means what it means to the audience and they therefore give it any meaning. It may have a unique meaning for Reed, as the author, but once in the public domain it is no longer his to decide. If I hadn't heard it in the film maybe it wouldn't be about heroin to me; if you heard it there first maybe it would. See my point?

They are and were respectively both great men.  But I like to listen to Lou Reed.

second line; second paragraph

your text, "...making up reasons to prove your write..." should read, "to prove you're right."

Espectacular!

[ElBerto]

This is weird - Pavarotti aparently said Barcelona by Freddie and Montserrat was dumbing down opera music! Not as weird as his eyebrows though.

[Luann DeLuca]

Yes, he did ... look at Lou Reed's face when Pavarotti begins, and the camera pans to Reed at 1:20 ... he has a look like he can hardly believe Pavarotti is singing his song.

Lou Reed è amore!

Everyone is making references to the movie, "Trainspotting". "Perfect Day" is now the theme song for the upcoming horror film, "You're Next". Discuss.
