It’s no secret that Lou Reed was an obstinately cantankerous contrarian, and there was little he enjoyed more than sticking in the craw of his peers. Accounts of Reed’s personality varied wildly depending on who was asked. The pattern was no enigma; if Reed liked someone, he would sing their praises and likely get on well with them, but if he wasn’t fond of you or your art, you’d better hope he wasn’t asked about you in an interview.
