Back in the mid sixties, when The Velvet Underground were changing rock music without anyone noticing, it is doubtful that a record about a drug dealer would have been played on the Light Programme. But today, when "I'm Waiting For The Man" was played on its successor Radio 2 to mark the death of Lou Reed no-one blinked an eyelid.

I will always have a soft spot for the Transformer album, one of the staples of the summer of 1973, but for his best song I don't think one can look beyond "Pale Blue Eyes". Speaking as an accountant I can confirm that money is indeed like us in time, it lies but can't stand up.
Linger on, Lou Reed, linger on.
