Sex, drugs and Lou Reed

/ 12:08 PM October 29, 2013

Dihang gatambay kami sa sala sa balay ni Cesar “Sawi Fox” Aquino sa Dumaguete City niadtong dekada 2000, mihisgot ang inilang magbabalak kabahin sa album ni Lou Reed nga iyang napalit sa Lee Plaza. Cassette tape pa kadto kay mahal pa ang CD niadtong panahona. Nagkanayon si Sawi Fox nga si Lou Reed ra kuno ang singer/songwriter sa iyang panahon nga makahimog mga tarong nga kanta kabahin sa kamatayon. Gani, matud pa ni Aquino, ang tibuok album kabahin man sa biyhahe paingon sa kamatayon. Ambot kun nakahinumdom pa si Sawi Fox ning iyang gipanulti. Nakalimot na usab ako sa title sa maong album apan diha kadtoy morag bangka sa cover nga gasakay si Reed nga gatindog.

Ganinang buntag paghuman kog pamahaw ni-message kanako sa FB ang akong amiga nga si Beverly nga mipanaw na si Lou Reed sa edad nga 71.

Kun si Neil Young ang grandfather of grunge, Si Lou Reed, nga maoy leader sa art rock group nga Velvet Underground (nga gimugna ni Andy Warhol), maoy amahan sa Indie rock. Kun movie director pa kini si Reed mauraura kini siyag ni Woody Allen nga dili popular o sikat ang mga projects apan seminal ug influential kaayo.

Daw may touch of taboo ang mga kanta ni Lou Reed nga kanunay nga gatuki sa sex ug drugs. Dili good times sex o good times nga suyop-laklak-inject ang iyang mga composition kun dili mga sugilanon sa mga kinabuhi diin ang issues sa sex ug drugs ang patigbabaw.

Hey white boy, what you doin’ uptown

Hey white boy, you chasin’ my women around

Pardon me sir, it’s furthest from my mind

I’m just waitin’ for a dear-dear friend of mine

I’m waiting for my man, come on

Here he comes, he’s all dressed in black

PR shoes and a big straw hat

He’s never early, he’s always late

first thing you learn is that you always gotta wait

I’m waiting for my man

Up to a brownstone, up three flights of stairs

Everybody’s pinned you and nobody cares

He’s got the works, gives you sweet taste

then you gotta split because you got no time to waste

I’m waiting for my man

Hey baby, don’t you holler, don’t you ball and shout

I’m feeling good, I’m gonna work it on out

I’m feeling good, feeling so fine

until tomorrow, but that’s just some other time

I’m waiting for my man

I’m waiting for my man
