Lou Reed - Perfect Day

In the summer of 1991 i was not quite yet 21, i was living on the third floor of a roominghouse and working on the eastern shore, i was taking a lot of acid and i was listening to a lot of music in my tiny room.  The two records i listened to the most were a Velvet Underground compilation and Jane's Addiction XXX live album (which includes a cover of the Velvet's Rock and Roll), i spent many of my non-working hours tripping and drinking and fucking in that room and there were many hours spent alone in the glow of blue and red lightbulbs spent writing fucking god-awful 20 year old angst ridden poesy on the pristine white walls of my room, i can only hope it's been painted over, all i know is that i spent many a perfect day in that room and spent hours on end listening to this man's band and records over the years... as Gulfboot put it he was peerless.
