>Reed was described by some friends and colleagues as racist. His friend Danny Fields, the American journalist who helped him sign to Elektra Records, described him as "Nazi-esque", saying: "Every once in a while there'd be something about Jews and I'd be, 'But Lou, I'm Jewish,' and he was like 'Yes, yes, I don't mean you.' He had a definite Nordic Aryan streak, [the belief] that he was physically, spiritually and creatively superior", a view he appears to have continued to maintain throughout his later years. According to Fields, Reed once attacked a mixed-race woman in a restaurant with a smashed wineglass, saying "I hate black people". During a performance in Berlin, the audience rioted after Reed performed the German national anthem "Deutschlandlied", including a verse omitted since 1945 for its nationalist associations.[23] However, Reed dedicated this performance to militant Andreas Baader, leader of the anti-fascist Red Army Faction.[24]

Such edge.

Poor Lauren had to bitterly forget that she ever went through her quirky Velvet Underground phase after she learned how "problematic" they were.

Poor Lauren.

Its funny how this stuff comes up after their death. Were they too afraid to lawsuits to post it while he lived?

What a fucking idiot.

Keep in mind, these are all reports from the 70s or so.

He was way, way more mellowed out in his twilight years.

Funny thing is that both Donna Summer and Bob Dylan became born again Christians a decade after when Lou most likely made these statements, so maybe he knew shit no one else was aware of.

>>72642062
he was pretentious too as well

>>72642062
he was a madman

>>72642062
Jews know the most about what Jews really are, which is why Jews hate Jews more than anyone.

>>72642492

imagine their conversations

Disclaimer to anyone new enough to fall for this: Lou was Jewish, was married by a rabbi, practiced Tai Chi, was close with a number of black musicians including Garland Jeffreys, and notably disliked political conservatives.

Should've changed it to:
>"Every once in a while there'd be something about Jews and I'd be, 'But Lou, you're Jewish,' and he was like 'Yes, yes, I don't mean me.'
