Beschreibung
The supplemented and completely revised edition of the unique Lou Reed biography offers a comprehensive yet detailed look at his music and life. Reed himself labeled the book as the best biography ever written about him. 'Waiting For The Man' portrays one of the leading figures of alternative music, a rock icon whose controversial lyrics and characteristic garage sound influenced the entire direction of the rock music scene. Even during the hippie era, he performed with uncompromising and almost mystical aloofness. His unmistakable style has been attempted to be imitated by generations of followers. He also significantly influenced the Czech underground, visited the Czech Republic several times, and was friends with Václav Havel. The book traces Reed's entire life from his early days in the Velvet Underground through more than 40 years of a solo career, during which he explored countless different styles and made his mark in history as one of the most original and hard-to-categorize artists.
