Lou Reed is best known as the frontman and lyricist of the highly influential band The Velvet Underground. Additionally, Reed has released multiple solo albums that have seen widespread critical acclaim. In today's video, I look into the brief stint in the early 1970s when Reed considered dropping music altogether to focus on writing, as well as looking into how his early love of literature helped formulate his iconic simple style of lyricism.
