Saturday Video



This song, a paeon to the less than glamorous side of heroin addiction, is one of my favorites of all time. Lou Reed's stark lyrics are skillfully paired with John Cale's staccato piano. The choppy, herky jerky rhythm of Reed's guitar prefaces punk by ten whole years.

Minimalistic rock swagger and utterly brilliant.
