Lou Reed Rips 'New York' a New One

While promoting his Sirius Satellite Radio Show, 'New York Shuffle,' rocker Lou Reed lost his marbles. During an interview with New York magazine, Reed responded to writer Andrew Goldstein's question about the pending merger of Sirius and rival XM with a verbal can of whoop-ass.

Here's how it went:

Goldstein: "Sirius' impending merger with XM is anticipated to boost earnings. Do you own any stock in the company?"

Reed: "What are you, a f---ing a--hole? I'm here telling you the truth about music and you want to know if I have stock in the f---ing radio? You f---ing piece of s---. What did I do to deserve that?"

Maybe Reed should call the show, 'New York Scuffle'?

LOL Way to go, Lou! You never let an old fan down. I'd say, 'You ROCK!', but that goes without saying! No postimpressionist idiot ever bothered asking Vincent Van Gogh if he was invested in Dutch Boy Paint, I'll bet you!

I agree with him. Music is much more real than some corporate entity getting a little bigger. Reminding a musician of his slavery to corporate america isn't exactly a bright idea. Chalk one up Lou for speaking his mind.
