A biography and critical assessment of Lou Reed as rock star, icon and street poet. Since his days as Andy Warhol's protege performing with the Velvet Underground, Lou Reed has established himself as one of the most creative and startlingly original performers ever to pick up a microphone. An acutely perceptive writer, he has gone from extremes of anti-establishment subversion to supporting worthy causes like Amnesty International and Greenpeace. The story of this transformation and his extraordinary life is included in this book.
