Honey, I'm a cocksucker, what are you?
Lou Reed

Sound is more than just noise. Ordered sound is music. My life is music.
Lou Reed
Image
As you practice things, you get better. I mean I've worked very hard on changing my life and taking what is good about it and trying to jettison the things I think were not good about it. I think the key word is discipline, focus. I'm always working at it, but I'm not always successful.
Lou Reed

It's just a temporary thing.
Lou Reed
Image
Speaking in a common tongue, speaking through guitars and drums.

All the people have gone to war leaving no interrogator to mind.
