Walk on the Wild Side Tal día como hoy, en 2003, Lou Reed dio un pequeño concierto en Madrid. Me colaron y estuve cerca del escenario. Intimidaba con su mirada y gesto pétreo. Las pocas fotos que se salvaron muestran la estela de un fantasma. Nadie como él paseó por el lado salvaje salvando el pellejo. . . . #loureed #velvetunderground #music #rockandroll #walkonthewildside #concert https://www.instagram.com/p/Cd3ZhYgDPIm/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Working on my Rock N Roll Landmarks Of New York library program this morning; just rolled by the childhood home of a legendary rocker—which I discovered was five minutes from my house! This leafy street is a far cry from the Dirty Boulevard; nobody’s waiting for their man or walking on the wild side here.

Wishing a Happy Birthday to Divine’s dear friend, Holly Woodlawn (October 26, 1946 - December 6, 2015). Rest In Peace 💖

Is Walk on the Wild Side transphobic? Student group issues apology after playing Lou Reed song

A Canadian student association has published an apology after a playing the Lou Reed song Walk on the Wild Side during a university event.

The student group needs to issue an apology to the ghost of Lou Reed. There was nothing transphobic about the lyrics and if they had bothered to contextualize the lyrics in the song, it's time and Lou Reeds life they would recognize their error.

This isn't "political correctness", this is abject ignorance. Holly (the trans woman mentioned in the song) is Holly Woodlawn, one of Warhol's "superstars" and star of many of his films. Candy (who "came from out on the island") was Candy Darling, another trans superstar. The world of The Factory, which Lou was part of, celebrated gender fluidity before that was a word. Reed himself was in a long-term relationship with Rachel, a trans woman who was the muse for much of his 70s songs and is featured on the cover of at least one of his albums.

History didn't start the day you were "woke", you little prats. Take a moment away from SnapBat or InstaFriend and read about the fucking world, not just your world, and learn a thing or two. Here's a good idea; "Google it" before you run off at the mouth.

Here's another update on that #walkonthewildside #Selfie....#Inks are almost all finished (other than the cool shades) and then I go to color. I haven't decided if this'll be a Con exclusive (if so, which con?) or if I'll just keep it as one of my prints... What do you think, friends#jeangrey #magma #boomboom #kittypryde #shadowcat #rogue #xmenevolution #xmen

I wanted to post this yesterday since it would've been very apropos for #internationalwomensday... I'm thinking this might be a cool #exclusive for #SDCC (this is only the rough of course). In case my rough is too unreadable, I'm calling this the #BayvilleSirensSelfie What do you think...? "Scott, I was trying to teach Magma how to handle things that go wrong. Which does not include looking for a big, strong man to save you!" —#Jean Grey #bayvillsirens #magma #boomboom #kittypryde #rogue #xmenevolution #xmen #walkonthewildside
