I cannot understand why this album gets so much hate. They literally didn't even bother to list it in the last Rolling Stone album guide. Huh? I stayed away from it for so many years because of this hate. Oh well, I guess I get to appreciate a new Lou Reed album in my old age now that he's gone, so it got saved for me for a late life surprise (I was 10 when it was released, so, not on my radar at the time). I like listening to it and getting locked into a friendly staredown with Lou. I'm sure everyone feels this way, and I'm sure it's completely self-delusional and maybe even vain, but I like to think he and I would have gotten along, if I had ever been cool enough to get close to him. I feel the same way about his brilliant final wife. What a couple.
