Lou Reed: Scotch & Sympathy At Tully Hall
Ed McCormack, Rolling Stone, 1 March 1973
NEW YORK — For weeks, the sinister-looking poster haunted the subway stations. Taken from the cover of Lou Reed's latest album, Transformer, it showed an effeminate Frankenstein monster in whiteface with baleful blackened eyes (into whose whites some graffiti genius in the IRT 14th Street station had drawn a network of red veins) rising phoenix-like out of total darkness. The white lettering at the bottom of the poster challenged one's very hipness:
Will You Still Be Underground, it asked, When Lou Reed Surfaces at Alice Tully Hall on January 27th?
Total word count of piece: 1227
