Such classics as \u201cHeroin\u201d and \u201cWaiting for the Man,\u201d both penned by Reed while at SU, are prime examples. Some say Schwartz thoroughly infiltrated Reed\u2019s creative sensibility, forging an aesthetic complement and counterweight to Andy Warhol, who later produced the Velvets.

As with several other Reed songs from the 1970s, the title may also be an allusion to an earlier song, in this case Mack David and Elmer Bernstein&#8217;s song of the same name, the Academy Award-nominated title song of the 1962 film based on Algren&#8217;s novel.[citation needed] During his performance of the song on his 1978 Live: Take No Prisoners album, Reed humorously explains the song&#8217;s development from a request that he wrote the music for the never completed musical version of Algren&#8217;s novel.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<li><\/li>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/music\/news\/laurie-andersons-farewell-to-lou-reed-a-rolling-stone-exclusive-20131106?page=2\">Farewell to Lou &#8211; Laurie Anderson (Rolling Stone) <\/a> (How they met, dated and got married). <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/consequenceofsound.net\/2013\/10\/lou-reeds-obituary-written-by-his-wife-laurie-anderson\/\">Laurie Anderson&#8217;s obit.<\/a> <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Lou was a tai chi master and spent his last days here being happy and dazzled by the beauty and power and softness of nature.
