Lou Reed stopped doing speed in the late 70s. He got into drinking. The first time that he was quite clean was when he did Growing Up In Public in 1980, and he put on a bit of weight. See videos from that year and check The Power Of Positive Drinking on Growing Up In Public or The Last Shot on Legendary Hearts (1983)...

Well said man, but would you want it any other way? I love his "i don't give a shit" attitude, makes him the great he is. Long live the curly haired Jewish wordsmiths :)

don't think he's on speed here, think he got tired of that in the velvets and early 70's.

Lou Reed is a cynical, cranky old man, with a jaundiced view of the world & his fellow man; he wants to be like a jazz-singer who doesn't repeat himself & ruins all his old songs when he sings them nowadays; & he never quite got over the fact that he wasn't a R&R poet/idol in the 60s like another Jewish, curly-haired musician who started out in New York like him, named Bob Dylan. Apart from that he's one of the best songwriters ever, an underrated guitarist, & the coolest icon, legend & genius..

I love how he says "I-talians" Lou Reed's music is so sexy
