...Which brings us to Lou Reed, who in the age of the legendary dead and dying has the misfortune of being alive and kicking. A misfortune only because, in the tradition of felines and rock stars, Lou Reed must have nine lives. Nine distinct incarnations ranging from junkie to jogger, from wife-beating closet queen to affectionate husband, from Velvet Underground frontman to the man on the Honda scooter who won't settle for just walking. And he's had to watch his various lives fold and unfold in the public eye to varying degrees of interest. But worse than that, pardon the melodrama, probably hardly a day goes by for Lou Reed that he doesn't have to live with being a survivor. A survivor in the rock and roll sense of the word.

While many rock stars who were once heroin addicts have now kicked smack (with an exaggerated sense of self-importance and fanfare) to delve into the pleasures of clean living, none had previously told the story of the vicissitudes of drug-crazed existence quite so blatantly or prolifically as Lou Reed. None wrote a song called "Heroin." None has quit the music business so abruptly, pleading lethal side effects and a litany of near-death experiences.

LET'S FACE IT: Lou Reed should be dead.

Great Story: Here in Ohio we have these things called the OGT (Ohio Graduation Test) that you take in the tenth grade and you must pass it before you can graduate from high school. It's unbelievably easy. Anyways for the writing portion we had to write an essay on "1 person that we would like to meet in life." So I picked Lance Armstrong or someone cliche like that and afterward I was talking with one of my buddies who happened to be the number one in our class at the time (He didn't finish close to that, but that's a different story) and he wrote HIS GRADUATION ESSAY ON JOHN ****ING STAMOS!!! Coolest thing anyone's ever done. And he passed, needless to say.
