Look for Lou Reed's collected lyrics in book form, coming out next week on December 8th. "Pass Thru Fire" will include Lou's lyrics, collected like the poetry they are. Lou Reed has always been an original thinker, and not one to shrink away from any project. His lyrics read like a dime store mystery, his ability to set the scene and tone like a playwright. For those wanting a good glimpse of Lou's great lyrics, I suggest "New York", which was like a CNN documentary of NYC in the late 80s. I also recommend "Songs for Drella", which was an intimate warts- and- all portrait of Andy Warhol. These two are among my favorites.
Lou will also be appearing on the Sundance Channel with Elvis Costello next week. As they say, check your listings.
