(When Lou Reed died, I, with purest superiority, decided every news anchor whose only reference was Walk on the Wild Side didnt really know who they were obiting. But doo ddoo remains perfect shorthand for black backup singers, so I was right to use it, dont think otherwise. And dont make the mistake of thinking I dont know of whom I refer. A guy I used to work next to played the Velvet Underground constantly. If not for him, I might not be pan-Reed conversant, BUT I AM! And anyway, I worked with Reed on a movie. Of course, in movies, working with someone doesnt mean you get to meet him or are even on the same continent. But I did get to meet or, more accurately, see him once in the wardrobe trailer. I think maybe the wardrobe ladies said he smelled, but that could have been me. What I seem to remember is that they said that about him - or someone - and I wondered what they said about me.)
