More From Lou Reed

There's no difference between lyrics and poetry. words are words. the only difference is the people who are in academic positions and call themselves poets and have an academic stance. they've got something to lose if they say it's all poetry; if there's not music to it, and you have to wear a certain kind of checkered shirt or something like that. it's all the same. lyrics are lyrics, poetry is poetry, lyrics are poetry, and poetry is lyrics. they are interchangeable to me.
Lyric Poetry Differences People
Scientific literacy is one of the underpinnings of everything i do. it's why i work with schools. it's why i teach at university. i do a lot of outreach to try and improve general scientific literacy, but the core of all scientific literacy is just literacy.
School Trying Literacy
The people who listened to rock 'n' roll, i thought, were bound together against the people who didn't listen to rock 'n' roll. that, of course, didn't work at all. your taste in rock 'n' roll does not say anything about you, morally or otherwise.
Rocks People Say Anything
I like "rock, paper, scissors two-thirds." you know. "rock breaks scissors." "these scissors are bent. they're destroyed. i can't cut stuff. so i lose." "scissors cuts paper." "these are strips. this is not even paper. it's gonna take me forever to put this back together." "paper covers rock." "rock is fine. no structural damage to rock. rock can break through paper at any point. just say the word. paper sucks." there should be "rock, dynamite with a cutable wick, scissors."
Funny Humor Cutting
Rock and roll by its nature is sexual. so girls playing rock and roll is saying to the world, "we own our sexuality." i think that pop music is sort of about "you can do what you want to me" kind of energy, while rock and roll is "i'm going to do what i want to you" kind of energy.
Girl Thinking Rock And Roll
You can really bring so much more to rock'n'roll. rock'n'roll is the most accepting, is the most fertile ground for creating hybrid forms of music and hybrid forms of show, if you draw from many, many different wells. it's just unfortunate so many rock'n'roll stars only bother to learn how to play like led zeppelin and/or the rolling stones and that's what you get, disc after disc and show after show.

Similar Quotes
Far overhead from beyond the veil of blue sky which hid them the stars sang again; a pure, cold, difficult music. then there came a swift flash like fire (but it burnt nobody) either from the sky or from the lion itself, and every drop of blood tingled in the children's bodies, and the deepest, wildest voice they had ever heard was saying: "narnia, narnia, narnia, awake. love. think. speak. be walking trees. be talking beasts. be divine waters.
Stars Children Thinking
I approach music - and this sounds crazy - as though i'm phil spector, and i'm cranking out these pop stars and forcing them to do all this stuff - except they're all me. but i'm not, like, transgendered.
Stars Crazy Sound
Television remains an incredible tool when it comes to ensure the best promo, but one thing was always clear to me, i didn't want reality stars; i wanted stars.
Stars Reality Tools
Below the incandescent stars / below the incandescent fruit, / the strange experience of beauty; / its existence is too much; / it tears one to pieces / and each fresh wave of consciousness / is poison.
