Show Notes

LOU REED AND METALLICA – TOGETHER AT LAST! This week we look at "Lulu" an album that is the result of the lyrical genius behind "Metal Machine Music" collaborating with the band that brought us St. Anger. What did people expect this team-up to sound like? Does Metallica have a bass player? Is this harder to listen to than a double-album of guitar feedback? How many songs include the word "vulva" in their lyrics, much less "spermless"? Could this make for a Broadway musical? Is Lou Reed a creepy old man or is he just playing a creepy old man? Did Bob Rock neuter Metallica like Sampson, or was it a happy little accident? Can Lars groove? Or just play tennis? Even if he was right about Napster, why is he so hard to take seriously? Join us for a round TABLE discussion this week on Detours and Outliers.
