    This song is beautiful, not just for itself, but because it comes from a time of innocence and freedom when there were no "community standards" on any media to censor what we can say, express or like. I bought this album when it came out and now I'm 83 and still loving it!

      I love this answer!
      I remember exactly where I was and who I was with. 30 yrs later I’ve reconnected with the boy that introduced it to me. I used to “sneak” into the restaurant where he was a cook at a tiny old school diner and we had a summer of love. No messy breakups, we didn’t put a label on any of it. He moved and so did I. Now all these years later, we’re madly in love, but still won’t put a label on it!

      My brother had just bought 2 tickets for the Lou Reed concert in Luxemburg when the doctors told him that he had endstage cancer. They gave him a few month, maybe just a few weeks. The concert was 8 months later. My brother said that he is not planning on dieing before seeing Lou Reed. He had a spontaneous remission of the cancer.The doctors called it a medical miracle when they discharged him from the hospital. My brother went to the Lou Reed concert as he had said. He even outlived Lou Reed by 2 years.

    The first time I heard this song was on a Pan-Am 747 on a flight between London and Los Angeles in 1972. It has been stuck in my head ever since. You could rent headphones for $5 and there were 10 different channels of music to listen to. After about an hour, the music started all over again. I longed for this song every time. The song is timeless.

      Really? You can't be serious. This has post has to be a joke.
      A Hwhyte guy singing, "All the c0l0r3d girls say do ta do ta do ta do...?"
      Are you aware of anything at all that's going on nowadays? I can't even spell that one word correctly bc it'll get deleted.
      Reed would've been canceled asf & his life completely destroyed with just this one song.
      The only reason UA-cam allows it on their site now is bc sometimes ad money takes precedence over the Totalitarian agenda.
      That is, unless & until it happens to be specially picked out to cancel. It's already been condemned at least twice in the last few yrs.
      It's a great song, I completely agree, but what's going on nowadays has nothing to do with greatness. Muppet masters are only abt pushing an agenda.
      We're living in one of the worst times & it's going to get a whole lot worse.

      Not that serious, no one really cares.
      Majority of the comments here are positive that should tell you all you need to know.
      Instead of crying about how horrible the world is just enjoy the song like a normal person

      Well, if you were in 1972 and heard music from 44 years earlier, you'd say it was OLD!

      Richard 3365 You're ignoring all the fact that there was shitty music back then. You know why you haven't heard it? Because people realized it was awful and stopped listening to it.
