Indispensible, delightful

This book is everything Victor Bockris's "Transformer" wasn't. This is a full-length review of Lou Reed's MUSIC. For seedy details about methamphetamine and transvestites, you'll have to look elsewhere. Jeremy Reed (no relation to Lou) is a published poet himself, and takes the approach of art first, personality second, throughout this well-written book. If you're a Lou Reed fanatic and you don't have this book, why even have a bookcase?
