Totally autobiographical, including naming the mental hospitals his parents put him in for, among other things, disclosing he was bi. Totally fearless artist. Immortal!
Went to the Rock and Roll Animal show at the Academy of Music on 14th,the second taping was in Brooklyn, 10 row center,Hunter and Wagner double lead perfected,one of my top 10.
Not Hunter, Wagner or Quine: it's Danny Weiss who played guitar on this album. Hunter/ Wagner were gone by now and Quine doesn't play with Lou until the 80s.
Or, one could perform the song without partaking in self-destructive behavior/drug consumption, relying on either past experience or portraying actions of other individuals under the influence of amphetamines or any other substance, while abstaining from said substance. No need to use just to sing, right?
And daughters. I was spared ECT but was a guinea pig for psych drugs. My brother needed them too. He died ten years ago from a heroin OD. Both parents still scapegoat and heap shame on me and the official story is he had a heart attack 🙄 The one hope I have for the truth (and some vindication) is my nephews, especially the eldest who is 12 and has been asking questions for a couple of years now. It's so pathetic and toxic. My brother was awesome.. God I can't write about this without seething..
One of the most darkly brilliant songs of this dry and sensitive Genius. Wow

Electric Shock Treatment for "homosexual urges". Christ, the fifties were grim.
@@MarquisSmithI miss those days!We’ve come so far😂
Only a great genius as Lou could sing in a so brilliant way a torture as electroshock by his parents
Bad ass music.
Fantastic song 🔥😎👌🏻❤️

@@slimedog it's Robert Quine

Man, what seething anger and wit rolled up into one.
Secondo me, l'importanza di Lou Reed per la musica, la letteratura, l'arte, per la cultura in generale, verrà capita appieno solo fra qualche decennio
Excellent production by Steve Katz
2020 hell yeah!
This song should only be performed on massive amounts of speed like Lou did.... to get that drone voice and intense fuckness. Pure genius song.
So, you wanna be like Lou? Hope you can pay for the Doctor's fees.
Or you won't last long.
Best of Luck with your Amphetamine experiment.

Intense fuckness. Whoa. And what bass and lead!
@Stanley_77 yes that's possible too, but the original idea is more fun lol
He did time in the 50's at Rockland State Hospital bc his parents thought he was gay and they wanted to wash it out,hence this song.
So good.
The people who do not understand LouReed need to sit back and look hard....it is not just rock and rool...it is freedom
And g a y
Godfather one of he s best ❤

Súper. Genial
Amazing song !
🎉
Lo que es ser un verdadero rockstar y no querer ni tener que llamar la atención. GENIO LOU
banger
All of the drugs that we took- it really was lots of fun
Maybe.....but when they shoot you up with thorizine on crystal smoke you choke like a son of a gun
Are there any nutters out there who don't relate to this ditty? I'm bipolar and I love this tune. Fucking shrinks.
Isn't everyone these days?
I hosted four times on psihiatria because alcohol ... good song.
❤❤❤
thank you american gods...
Danny Weiss on guitar?
🎉🎉
Only true song
Listen to the fall, ketamine sun if you like this, Mark e Smith borrowed some of this lol and made it his own, not saying better, just the fall
dead heavy nihilistic fun
Best song about mental illness ever written.
Up there with the Ramones' "Psychotherapy" for sure. Very pointed attack on well-meaning child abuse. Amazing blues guitar by Danny Weis.
" Sorry, it was just a test ! "
