Deux heures et des poussières. Lou Reed au Capitol Theater Passaic en 1984, un des temples du rock aujourd'hui remplacé par un mall. La disparition de Lou Reed, il y a six ans déjà, fait un grand trou dans la raquette du temps. Pas besoin d'en faire des tonnes. Enjoy ! Au casque !
Après avoir fait carrière dans le porno, le Capitol de Passaic fut un point de passage obligé de toutes les pointures du rock, même commercial. On y a vu les Rolling Stones, Bruce Springsteen, Frank Zappa, Willie Nelson, The Who, Prince et cent autres. Plutôt branché rock alternatif quoique le rock le soit par essence, on peut découvrir The Capitol Theater sur un album de R.E.M. qui passe un hommage à Lou Reed en position 2. C'est par ici !

RépondreSupprimer"Walk On The Wild Side"
Holly came from Miami, F.L.A.
Hitch-hiked her way across the U.S.A.
Plucked her eyebrows on the way
Shaved her legs and then he was a she
She says, "Hey, babe,
Take a walk on the wild side."
Said, "Hey, honey,
Take a walk on the wild side."
Candy came from out on the Island
In the back room she was everybody's darling
But she never lost her head
Even when she was giving head
She says, "Hey, babe,
Take a walk on the wild side."
Said, "Hey, babe,
Take a walk on the wild side."
And the colored girls go
"Doo do doo do doo do do doo..."
Little Joe never once gave it away
Everybody had to pay and pay
A hustle here and a hustle there
New York City's the place
Where they said, "Hey, babe,
Take a walk on the wild side."
I said, "Hey, Joe,
Take a walk on the wild side."
Sugar Plum Fairy came and hit the streets
Looking for soul food and a place to eat
Went to the Apollo
You should've seen them go, go, go
They said, "Hey, sugar,
Take a walk on the wild side."
I said, "Hey, babe,
Take a walk on the wild side."
All right, huh
Jackie is just speeding away
Thought she was James Dean for a day
Then I guess she had to crash
Valium would have helped that bash
Said, "Hey, babe,
Take a walk on the wild side."
I said, "Hey, honey,
Take a walk on the wild side."
And the colored girls say,
"Doo do doo do doo do do doo..."
Thanks to John Shea, Ethel Meyers, susan, Steve for correcting these lyrics.
"Little Joe" refers to Joe Dallesandero from Andy Warhol Factory. "Sugar Plum Fairy" is the nickname of actor Joe Campbell. "Holly", "Candy", and "Jackie" are based on Holly Woodlawn, Candy Darling, and Jackie Curtis: the real drag queens who appeared in Andy Warhol's film "Women In Revolt" (1972). Lou Reed explained, "I always thought it would be kind of fun to introduce people to characters they maybe hadn't met before, or hadn't wanted to meet."
