Lou Plays Instead of Waits for The Man

This ought to bum out aging hippies the world over. Via Boing Boing, I read that Lou Reed played the Web 2.0 conference, and people didn’t even stop talking in the back of the auditorium.

Lou sounds more miserable than usually:

“Who would have thought it would come to this. I’d be playing at a cyberspace conference, brought here by AOL, introduced by my kung-fu brother.”

His use of ‘cyberspace’ is very charming. You know, Lou, despite all the computations, you could just dance to the rock ‘n’ roll station.
