Lou Reed: Legendary Hearts (RCA)

ON THE cover and sleeve photos for Legendary Hearts, Lou Reed, Darth Vadar helmet under his arm and guitar and amp strapped to his motorcycle, looks as if he's taking off to star in his own version of Road Warrior. In a sense, that's true: Legendary Hearts is full of the bravery and strength ("You've got to fight to make what's right'') that made the Road Warrior inspiring. But while the movie was a fantasy pitting one man against evil men, Legendary Hearts has Reed battling personal devils that threaten his work, his marriage, his life.
