Lou Reed, Transformer & Other Glam Essentials
Please give this a listen. David Bowie and fellow Spider, Mick Ronson, are at the helm. Songs about Andy Warhol, make-up, jealousy, and the lovely seediness that Lou seems to channel straight from NYC. Give the Velvet Underground a spin if you have not already. While you're at it, check out the king of glam, Marc Bolan of T. Rex. You will thank me later. Bolan was England's first pop sensation in the wake of the Beatles' demise. We are talking SUPERSTAR across the pond. But then again, don't the Brits seem to always have superior rock and roll sensibilities? Yes they do. What is wrong with us? OK, you give us The Beatles and Bowie? Here's Hall And Oates...
Who Loves Ya Baby?
