"My God is Rock n' Roll. It’s an obscure power that can change your life. The most important part of my religion is to play guitar."
This was a quote from Lou Reed. Lou would have turned 76 years old today.
Although his Lou and his band The Velvet Underground never really had great commercial success, they influenced scores of others and have a large almost cult like following to this day.
Lou passed away on Oct. 27, 2013.
Happy Birthday Lou. The Wild Side is a little less scary thanks to you.
Jenny said, when she was just five years old
You know there's nothin' happening at all
Every time she put on the radio
There was nothin' goin' down at all
Not at all
One fine mornin', she puts on a New York station
And she couldn't believe what she heard at all
She started dancin' to that fine-fine-fine-fine music
Ooohhh, her life was saved by rock 'n' roll
Hey baby, rock 'n' roll
Despite all the amputation
You could dance to a rock 'n' roll station
And it was all right
It was all right
Hey babe
Jenny said, when she was just five years old
You know there's nothin' happening at all
Two TV sets, two Cadillac cars
Ahhh, hey, ain't help me nothin' at all
Not at all
One fine morning, she heard on a New York station
She couldn't believe what she heard at all
Not at all
Despite the amputation
You could dance to a rock 'n' roll station
It was all right
It was all right
Oh, now here she comes now-now

Yeah, every time she put on the radio
There was nothin' goin' down at all
Not at all
Then one fine morning, she put on a New York station
And she couldn't believe what she heard at all
She started dancing to that fine-fine music
Ahh, her life was saved by rock 'n' roll
Rock 'n' roll
Despite all the amputation
You could dance to the rock 'n' roll station
It's all right, all right
All right, all right
All right, it's all right
All right, all right
Baby, baby
Baby, baby, ooohhh
