By the way, I'm officially done with my (recent) Lou Reed immersion. I checked out his box set from the library a few weeks ago and was able to plug some holes in my collection.

Sorry to hear that, Chuck. Hope you are feeling better soon.

Finished the Hemingway documentary on PBS (Ken Burns and Lynn Novick) and started The Imposter (Netflix).

Got my second shot yesterday morning. I'm lucky. Other than a sore arm, I haven't had any side effects.

I pretty much wore out my vinyl copy of this one in college.

I have tickets for the Wilco/S-K show in Chicago on Aug 28. With apologies to Lou Reed, I am "fully vaccinated, gassed, stoked and ready to go!!" I also have tickets to see Drive-By Truckers in September and Jason Isbell/Lucinda Williams at the end of July.

Agree. Picked it up last week and it's been in heavy rotation.

I agree with you. Following Rock and Roll Heart, Lou's put together a streak of six good to great studio albums (starting with Street Hassle and ending with New Sensations). But he made up for the unevenness of Mistrial with New York - one of his best!

I watched The Sound of Metal a few months back and loved it. Great performances.
