You know I am a fan of your onstage performances
And when I first saw you play
There was always everybody who had seen you before said to me
Oh, you have to see Lou Reed onstage, and he's got such great stage presence and everything
How do you feel about stage?
I mean, don't, you don't miss it?
You don't enjoy performing?
Do you get nervous? Do you -?
I, you know, I'm addicted to performing
I mean, I get off on performing
Like, performing really does it for me
It's the thing that does it most for me after writing
Like, I really get off on the writing, and on performing
I get the same rush out of it
You know, it's like, I
I really, really enjoy it
But only when everything is set up as perfectly as possible
You know, once I'm there
It's like the me who is aware of the way things could be set up badly
You know, takes, tries to watch out that
The me who enjoys performing so much isn't working into a potential problem
So that he doesn't have fun
You know, like, I'm really dedicated to how much fun I get from performing
I love playing guitar with other people
I love it, and I love doing it in front of a crowd that gets off on it
There's nothing to match that
I really, you know, like playing rock and roll songs
