Lou Reed on the MTV Music Awards

A member of the Advancement Foundation saw the MTV Music Awards last week and has brought up two excellent points about Lou Reed's appearance (which I missed somehow):
  • He fronted the Raconteurs (unannounced), but only played songs he had written himself, and...
  • presented an award with Pink, a moment punctuated by Reed's public criticism of MTV for not playing enough "rock n' roll."

As most of you know, Advanced Artists will take any chance they have to talk about rock'n'roll.

They cut to commercials after about 1 minute of the song... Such a dissapointment. Then again it is MTV. When can Jack White be advanced? He's stopped wearing three colors so he's less overt, and he's performed with Bob Dylan and Lou Reed. That's gotta be worth something.

I think Dylan and Reed would disagree– but what do they know?
