LOU REED: Rock and roll

      Ha muerto, tío. Lou Reed nos ha dejado. Supongo que ahora nos tocará verlo en la tele, reediciones de sus discos, videos, tributos... canciones en los blogs, fotos en vuestros muros... Lo siento y me rindo. Seré uno mas. Reconozco que lo tenía olvidado, aunque Juan sabe de mi idilio con Lulu. Podría tirar de tópico y hablar de esa portada y su título, hablar de drogas, desfase, the way of life y mil cosas mas, pero lo que me viene a la memoria son esas noches en el Gong (un bar de por aquí) cerveza en mano, saltando, riendo y gritando en el extasis final de su Rock and roll, que todo va bien, muy bien. It's alright, alright... Señoras y señores: Lou Reed, el que atravesó el fuego lamiéndose los labios.




 

ROCK AND ROLL
Jenny dice que cuando tenía cinco años / nunca pasaba nada de nada / cada vez que ponía la radio / nunca pasaba nada / hasta que una buena mañana / puso una emisora de Nueva York / y sabes? no se podía creer lo que oyó / empezó a agitarse con aquella música tan buena / y sabes? el rock and roll le salvó la vida / a pesar de todas las amputaciones / uno puede ponerse a bailar con la emisora de rock and roll. / y estuvo bien / y sigue estando bien / Jenny dice que cuando tenía cinco años / "sabes? mis padres nos van a matar a todos / dos televisores y dos cadillacs no me van a servir para nada" / hasta que una buena mañana / puso una emisora de Nueva York / y no se pudo creer lo que oyó / empezó a bailar con aquella musica tan buena / y sabes? el rock and roll le salvó la vida / a pesar de todos los cálculos / uno siempre puede bailar con esa emisora de rock and roll / y está bien / muy bien / y sigue estando bien.
