Heard just now on TV.  A thought goes to Laurie Anderson.
I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution

I wonder if Metallica's Lulu is the last time Lou Reed recorded... what a legacy the man had - Transformer is still an enigma all these years later
