Ok, so it's not at Max's Kansas City. And ok no, John Cale won't be in attendance. And neither will Sterling Morrison, obviously. And they probably won't actually even have instruments with them. But still, Moe Tucker, Doug Yule and Lou Reed will appear together on December 8th as part of the "
Live From the NYPL" series at the New York Public Library. The three will be interviewed by
Rolling Stone's David Fricke, and chances are Lou Reed will be sort of a jerk but also sort of an awesome genius. If they allow audience members to ask questions, I'm going to be like, "Hey Lou, do you feel bad that if it weren't for that stupid spoken-word interlude thing, my wife probably would have been ok with using 'I Found a Reason' for our wedding song?" Tickets to the event will run you $25, or $15 if you're really young or really old. They're on sale
here.
