Respectfully, it's this take that is poor. Musicians don't owe people anything and aren't obligated to smile any time anyone asks them to perform something. Some musicians will enjoy playing the same song a million times, while others have a different relationship with that music that may necessitate them feeling the need to "move on" from it. Music will always mean different things to different people.
- kjkjadksj 3y agoIf anything its showing disrespect towards his fans who pay for his life. Ok, maybe he felt one way or another about the song or the time it was written or who knows. That being said you should be mature enough to set that aside and understand the value this song has brought to your fans. He’s a professional musician after all and should probably not pout about it at this point. Its not like this is some new concept with the job of professional musician on tour, its part and parcel.

If anything, fans who don't know that Lou Reed wouldn't be too keen on mining his past aren't the strongest fans and the attitude they demonstrate can also be deemed disrespectful. >Its not like this is some new concept with the job of professional musician on tour, its part and parcel. A professional musician's job is to make music that they want to make, full stop. What you're describing - bucking up, putting on a smile and doing as your fans demand - crosses into entertainer/star territory. Lou was a musician first, and an entertainer/star last. That, too, is not a new concept. I have to fault the audience for showing up expecting someone to be something that they clearly are not and never were.
