Lou Reed on Palin: "You thought it couldn't get worse than Bush. Well, guess what?"

Lou doesn't seem that... sunny.

What was really funny about the concert, when the musicians were taking their bows, Lou looked as though he would break if he did. He looked very awkward trying to bend at the waist.

Laurie doesn't always come across as "sunny" to me, but extremely funny. I haven't missed one of her performances yet. She always packs the House in Dallas, no less.


edit to clarify: Laurie is NOT so much Ha-Ha funny but uses her humor in a ironic way that expresses her observations about life. Her Concert tour "Homeland" was an exceptionally wonderful view about the past eight years. She uses analogies as a way to get people to think that I have never seen anyone else doing. She is very clever in her observations, perceptions and perspectives.


edit, edit: However, I do agree that they are a strange mix. It has had me shaking my head for years.:shrug:

why is it, when you think, it can't get any worse, they can't go any lower - and they do! It's execrable! :banghead:

:rofl:

I was worried that he may have turned Republican or something ;)

and then my mind split open

:woohoo:

but I do that a lot

performance in Dallas. *Near the close of the concert, an expected guest stepped onstage: Lou Reed, Ms. Anderson’s longtime partner and, as of a few months ago, her husband. Lending guitar and vocals to a piece called “The Lost Art of Conversation,” he brought welcome fire and unruliness into the mix. But the framework was Ms. Anderson’s, and her message was unsparing: Love, like anything else, can be the byproduct of delusion.


Laurie has a great song about our soldiers “Callin’ Em Up”

*When the terrain was at its most harrowing, Ms. Anderson opted for a caustic clarity, as in this passage from “Callin’ Em Up,” provoked by images of baby-faced soldiers:

And then those questions come up, like:
Was the Constitution written in invisible ink?
Has everybody here forgotten how to think?
Is this great, great boat starting to sink?


*from a review

Palin really would be worse than Bush.

It would be a Reagan-level lack of awareness or accountability of what her staff is doing.

George Bush presided over a huge sellout of government to K Street lobbyists. Every appointment was up for bid.

Palin has been an absentee governor (even before being picked by McCain). Her presidency would be the same. K street government. Government without citizens. Palin could claim ignorance because she truly is ignorant.
