Happy 30th
anniversary of Lou Reed's solo work mask, blue, issued on February 24, 1982.
Everyone has a favorite Lou phase - some people like heavy guitar notes, some
like red lipstick-queen who, like Lulu members of Metallica. But for most of
us, Lou has never been more intense and full of feelings of Blue Mask. This is
one of the most difficult truth about the most fun husbandhood album ever made.
Lou is in love, but found it just scared the hell out of him. When she sings:
"No good / Everything went from bad to bizarre."
Blue cover up a few days before his 40th birthday Reed. (What does it mean to be turning 70 next week, March 2.) After years of debauchery, running wild on each side of the city and passed out on most of them, he had a lot to talk about his new life as a man of "average." Lou face the terror of adult love, look at his mental demons as he tries to keep the good stuff found. As Tom Carson of Rolling Stone wrote in a five star review, "Lou Reed has done what even John Lennon could not do it, he put the Plastic Ono Band and Double Fantasy on the same note."
