【熊貓人音樂】向一代傳奇致敬 Lou Reed

最近這幾天音樂界最令人震撼的消息就是一代搖滾傳奇巨星 Lou Reed 的逝去。

Lou Reed 是美國60年代最重要的另類樂隊地下絲絨樂團 Velvet Underground 的主唱兼吉他手，他們的音樂影響整個音樂界非常多，而 Lou Reed 更是對社會議題和政治情勢有極高的參與，他音樂帶起了捷克民主化的風潮，更是替同性戀與跨性別者積極地發聲，對整個美國甚至世界有極大的影響力。

潘德曼是透過 U2 的自傳認識這位搖滾巨星，讓我們一起聽 Lou Reed 的經典歌曲 Walk On The Wild Side，緬懷一代傳奇替世界帶來的美好聲音。

Holly came from Miami, F.L.A.
Hitch-hiked her way across the U.S.A.
Plucked her eyebrows on the way
Shaved her legs and then he was a she
She says, “Hey babe, take a walk on the wild side”
He said, “Hey honey, take a walk on the wild side”

Candy came from out on the island
In the backroom she was everybody’s darlin’
But she never lost her head
Even when she was giving head
She says, “Hey babe, take a walk on the wild side”
He said, “Hey babe, take a walk on the wild side”

And the colored girls go
Doo do doo, doo do doo, doo do doo

Little Joe never once gave it away
Everybody had to pay and pay
A hustle here and a hustle there
New York City’s the place where they said
“Hey babe, take a walk on the wild side”
I said, “Hey Joe, take a walk on the wild side”

Sugar plum fairy came and hit the streets
Lookin’ for soul food and a place to eat
Went to the Apollo, you should’ve seen ’em go go go
They said, “Hey sugar, take a walk on the wild side”
I said, “Hey babe, take a walk on the wild side”
Alright, huh

Jackie is just speeding away
Thought she was James Dean for a day
Then I guess she had to crash
Valium would have helped that bash
She said, “Hey babe, take a walk on the wild side”
I said, “Hey honey, take a walk on the wild side”

And the colored girls say
Doo do doo, doo do doo, doo do doo

普普藝術大師 Andy Warhol 更是曾經替地下絲絨樂團製作專輯封面，而這張專輯也被深刻地記憶著。

為了緬懷 Lou Reed 的離開，英國搖滾樂團 Arctic Monkeys 北極潑猴更是在 Liverpool Live 現場演出 Walk On The Wild Side

U2 BY U2 裡曾經提到，因為主唱 Bono 在一場慈善搖滾演唱會 Live Aid 裡，把 Lou Reed 的名曲 Satellite of Love 和  Walk On The Wild Side 加入表演的橋段，兩個人後來成為了非常好的朋友，也有演出上的合作。

最後讓我們一起來看，這場讓我第一次認識 Lou Reed 歌曲的演出吧
