Choć Lou Reed zmarł w 2013 roku, jego obecność w świecie popkultury jest coraz silniej odczuwalna. Był nie tylko wielkim rockowym poetą: to on połączył popowe brzmienie z europejską awangardą, co na zawsze odmieniło amerykańską kulturę.

Lou Reed foi coroado «O Rei de Nova Iorque» por David Bowie, quando o britânico festejou os seus cinquenta anos em palco e teve o norte-americano como convidado especial. Tantas vezes apregoada, a admiração de Bowie por Reed é apenas um sintoma da influência decisiva do autor de «Sweet Jane» e «Walk on The Wild Side» em muita da melhor música das últimas cinco décadas. Sem Lou Reed e os Velvet Underground, o punk e a música dita alternativa ou independente não teriam tido os mesmos contornos. O que seriam os Joy Divison, Nick Cave ou os REM, fora um número incontável de outros artistas, sem a criatividade visionária e a atitude transgressora de Lou Reed? Mais do que enalte...
En 1964, rien ne laisse présager que la rencontre entre un jeune new-yorkais accro aux médicaments, Lou Reed, et un Gallois pédant et multi-instrumentiste, John Cale, allait aboutir à la création du groupe de rock le plus scandaleux et original de son époque. En moins de dix ans, ils vont chambouler tous les codes musicaux, artistiques et culturels et influenceront des générations de musiciens. Prosperi Buri, avec son humour acide, décrit ces années de bruits et de fureur, pour un portrait à la fois juste et sans complaisance.
