Laurie Anderson and Geoffrey Dicker
Last week, I had the great fortune to meet singer and performance artist Laurie Anderson. She was at an art opening and I was surprised that she was not with her husband, the Velvet Underground’s Lou Reed. Laurie signed my “Big Science” CD cover and was very cool. A few moments later, much to my surprise, I saw Lou Reed walking up the street. He’s one of my personal gods and unfortunately, I’ve had many disappointing encounters with the legend. The curse was lifted that night as Lou signed my “Transformer” CD cover! I asked if he would mind taking a photo with me and he said “Yes. I would mind.” I didn’t press my luck any further and I thanked him for all the great music that has enriched my life. Thanks again Laurie and Lou. Though this experience happened last week, it has brought me daily smiles.

Seated: Laurie Anderson and Lou Reed
Happy 69th birthday to the Velvet Underground’s lead singer Lou Reed. I love his music so much and unfortunately my encounters with the singer have not proven to be very positive. I love him anyway. I’ll definitely listen to “Sunday Morning,” “Heroin,” “Rock and Roll,” “Perfect Day” and “Vicious” today in Lou’s honor. Perhaps maybe old man grumpus will even crack a smile today! Happy birthday Lou!

You can see more images from The Mermaid Day Parade here and here!
After the jump, see proof that Lou Reed from the Velvet Underground is able to flex those muscles in his mouth and smiles! There are some images that contain sea-nudity, so if you have a closed mind, do not read any further!

There will be many more images from the Mermaid Day Parade in Coney Island, New York coming soon… but for now, enjoy a sneak peak of what’s to come. After the jump, see parade grand marshalls Laurie Anderson and Lou Reed (in shorts!), my encounter with a green man, and most importantly – boobies! (that image is NSFCMP – not safe for closed minded people), so beware!

Lou Reed and The Edge live at Carnegie Hall
On October 4, 2009 at Gavin Friday’s AIDS benefit concert at Carnegie Hall in New York, we were treated to a special performance by The Edge of U2, Lou Reed of the Velvet Underground and performance artist Laurie Anderson! Before the show, I was standing next to Lou Reed on the street and he completely ignored me, which was a disappointment, but old man grumpus more than made up for it when he rocked the stage. Oddly enough, the Velvet Underground classic “Sweet Jane” was performed, but Mr. Reed didn’t sing a note.
