And, with the inevitable weathering of vocal abilities, initial hearings of "newer" material can be be a bit off-putting. There can be however, a deeper resonance that develops as the material presents itself far differently than youthful speed rock. I "get" little in-jokes from Reed albums of 5-10 years ago that have taken me that long to "get" (Mr. Lit Hip that I am). When re-listening to things like "Growing Up In Public" for the first time in 15 years, THAT sounds lyrically AND sonically righteous. One has to invest in the long haul career to see the rich tapestry. Just wait until 50 years from now when someone discovers it all for the first time, without the current era's shadings, like an ancient Robert Johnson record. Lou was always the quintessential loner-outsider.

Apart from the records you mentioned I was playing 'new sensations' on the weekend for the first time in a long time. I was surprised by just how much I enjoyed it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
