I'll Be Your Mirror (I Find It Hard To Believe You Don't Know)

Velvet Underground: I'll Be Your Mirror (Live At Max's Kansas City, Summer 1970)

THESE DAYS

I've been out walking
I don't do that much talking these days
These days-
These days I seem to think a lot
About the things that I forgot to do
And all the times I had the chance to

I'll keep on moving
Things are bound to be improving these days
These days-
These days I sit on corner stones
And count the time in quarter tones to ten
Don't confront me with my failures
I had not forgotten them

THE DAY LOU REED DIED (1) -- WILD CHILD

I read an old Lou Reed interview tonight, which I liked so much, where he discussed (unpretentiously, in an impressive, impassive, advanced and sophisticated) shop-talk manner, USING VERY FEW WORDS, the salient differences between some art forms.

In his description, he emphasized the basic physicality of rock & roll, which had a decisive impact on the lyrics, the music, their internal intellection/combustion engine, and their interaction with and perception by the audience.

He made the point more simply than I would, using fewer words but saying more.

The rest is silence.  Gimmie Some Good Times (please).
