It’s like Baghdad now, the town was always rough, but never like this. Fallen is an understatement..

My nana and grandad lived in lawson street

My grand parents were from Cannon street, and the stories they told were great!

Blir inte bättre än så här

Beautiful. Thank you.

My Dad had his Chemist shop on Cannon Street From Newport rd down Millbank Ah the Constant grey skies and smell of the Gaswerks! Loved the Sound of the sparrows coughing!😮

I was born in 68, not from that part of Boro but everyone from Middlesbrough knows about Cannon Park. Great film, gave me goosies watching it 👌 😢👍

The one thing missing today , community spirit 😢

My parent's grew up around Canon Street, such a shame that the town centre has become a ghost town now.

superb

As folk who lived outside the boro about 9 miles away in a small market town, we were often warned if we were planning on going down boro for a night out , dont go near cannon street you wont be seen again if you do, it had a reputation for villainy and toughness ( wether warranted or not l still dont know to this day lol ) so of course we would have a look, early summer you got stared at straight away, kids on bikes would follow you, depending on how many of us there were usually about 6, say if just 2 sometimes some lads would come up and warn us we would get our heads kicked in lol, we never did tho, later we would meet some of the lasses in boro pubs and get to know em. Great place great days, they calked us wooly backs and we called em townys, mostly affectionately. 😂

Tomorrow I will go to Johnny Bragg's funeral. ( In Chester) He was brought up in Cannon Street. Would have loved this.

This is exactly what UA-cam was invented for.

Two of my great grandfather's are on the Albert Park wall both killed on the somme

My ancestors, the Tollidays lived in Cannon Street for some time in the early 20th century.

Present day it’s like Islamabad ….. bring back the old days of respect

Our dad was from Cannon Street👍

Love the boro my home since 1977

Lou Reed was actually politer than the situation merited - the interviewer was indirectly calling him a failure.

Loved watching this iam from Stockton born in norton village never bring back these days everyone was happy in them days even though we had very little not like today Loved the memories

What the fuck is this shite

Fantastic to watch!

I was born on Cannon Street in 1958, the youngest of my 3 brothers was born in the same house in April 1969. We moved onto Cannon Park on the 4th January 1974 and it still wasn't demolished then

It really made me sad when he died in 2013. Unfortunately for me I no longer knew anyone who even remembered him. I played Sister Ray a lot during that period.

I knew Tom Cronin and his son John, also the Hall family Geordie and Fred, all came from Cannon Street, I was demolishing Gjeers Mills Blast furnaces in 1966, used to cycle up to Newbold's butchers on Newport road for pies every dinnertime for the lads on site, working for TW Wards demolition at the time some of cannon Street was getting demolished then

I like Lou Reed, I think he's great. What a nightmare to have no Lou Reed in the world.

My Grandmother was Mrs Leopard, she owned houses in Cannon Street and Calthorpe St. which she rented out. I can remember going to collect the rents with her on a Friday. My Great Grandfather ran the Royal Oak, on Dacre Street, in the 1800's

My ancestors moved from norfolk 1880s, lived in cannon St for about 25 years worked in the iron foundries, Elmers and Kents,

Amazing. No musical progress in two decades.

My grandad lived at number 5 canon street about 1905 and great grandad had an allotment I think it was just over the river and he let gipsies put their Van's on it. One of the gipsies was a horse trader who purchased ponies for the mines and the other gipsy had a pickles business. Grandad often went to Stockton railway station with the gipsies to collect the ponies then they would walk them along the wilderness road through the night and keep them in the allotment area until next morning . Next Mr ing was Sunday and the ponies had to be walked to Eston . The route they took was up Marton rd and they would have gone along the trunk rd which was a toll rd owned by the church and was closed on Sunday so they had to go further up and along ladgate lane. He told me the ponies were paid for following inspection with gold sovereigns. He said it was the first time he and got grandad had seen gold. I hope the details are correct I can only reflect on what grandad told me.

So Cool.... I hope my YT David Bowie Interpretations of his classics make him smile from far far away.

We lived in King George St. by the Newport Bridge. We were as kids, safe as houses. Lovely People, hearts of gold. Pitchers and Gollogly’s we lived at Nr 8 and my great Nana lived at Nr17. 1959 we moved to Guisborough.

I think it is true that Lou, in this period of his career, underperformed. Of course there are a couple of memorable songs in The Blue Mask, same in Legendary Hearts, New Sensations, Street Hassle, Mistrial...but none of these albums have the artistic stature of New York or Magic and Loss, which in my humble opinion are his masterpieces. That being said, asking an artist if he thinks he's been underperforming is a silly, pointless question. Of course the artist always tries his best. Lou didn't care, nor he should have cared, about what certain critics said about his work. And the fans aren't interested in finding out what Lou thinks of himself or of his work. It's much more interesting to find out about the ideas behind a certain album, how the songs were conceived and all that. But that subject is barely touched in this interview. So yes, he may have been rude on occasion with interviewers, but they always gave him plenty of reasons to be. "What kind of life do you lead?" "Are you an average guy?" "Are you a nice guy?" Come on.

I never liked his music, but he does do a great interview

The Blue mask is an album I know pretty well and each song has a really self contained theme. The song The Blue Mask might be asking, not in a diagnostic way, but in a personal way, what's behind depression. That interests me. It's too bad this interview tries continually to get at him from different directions instead of being interested in him and his work. I find Lou so easy to love.
