Enduring Metal Machine Video



Lou Reed Himself Explains MMM


If Lou Made Music Videos, Would It Look Like This?


Lou's Original Liner Notes

Lester Bangs Agrees!!!

That's all for now. Further recommendations include:

Threnody for the Victims of Hiroshima - Krzysztof Penderecki

Ancient Voices of Children - George Crumb

John Cage - 4' 33" - MMM's polar opposite (or is it?)

How Did I Miss This???

Great, now I have to go listen my Led Zeppelin records ALL OVER AGAIN...



T'was in the darkest depths of Mordor
I met a girl so fair
But Gollum and the evil one crept up
And slipped away with her, her, her, yea
-"Ramble On"

The ringwraiths ride in black, ride on.
AND
The magic runes are writ in gold
-"Battle of Evermore"
