e pensar que ouvi (ouço) Lou Reed há tanto (mas tanto) tempo... há cantores/artistas/vozes/pessoas que nos acompanham há tanto tempo, que as julgamos imortais. não são. ninguém é. e no entanto, sabemos que nunca morrerão. não sei fazer elogios fúnebres, tudo me soa a falso. mas o Lou era cá dos meus. e nunca (nunca!) me hei-de esquecer de que apresentei um trabalho sobre Hitler ao som do grande Lou Reed :) nice!
