What do you mean "Lou Reed is all about being Lou Reed"? He can't be anyone else. John Cale is "about" John Cale too.

As for the cult of personality...I understand, but Neil Young and Bob Dylan are guilty of the same crime, if it is a crime.

oops I meant to post that on the poll thread

three weeks pass...

I wish to give my thanks, about locking the other thread. I wanted to write Ned in the midst of that thread, but I realized I didn't probably have his email anymore. I thought he would prolly be sympathetic to my cause. Thanks for locking the other thread.

I adore John Cale.

Won't change my vote yet, iatee, though. But I realize this is a close race. Don't give up on me, I might convert to Cale someday.

I understand the long and personal struggle you must be going through Bimble. Just understand that I'm here to support you.

thanks iatee!

alright last post from me today

I love John Cale. Okay? I really do.
But when Lou gets it right, he really gets it right.
He's the blood in my soul.

But on a good sunny day if you play me Cale's
"Empty Bottles" I might change my mind.

Sometimes Lou Reed is the only reason to live. I mean you understand me, right?

Mmm. NO.

but this was a great performance. He did it again later without a drummer, after slagging drummers and other musicians in general. Only a crazy man would sack a band this good.
