Keith Richards - I'm Waiting For The Man (Lou Reed Cover) (Official Video)

Someone on Instagram posted [again] a little clip of this so here’s the whole thing . . . . I hadn’t heard it before so hopeful some of you haven’t and can enjoy it as much as I did!


Keith Richards - I'm Waiting For The Man (Lou Reed Cover) (Official Video)




To me, Lou stood out. The real deal! Something important to American music and to ALL MUSIC! I miss him and his dog.” - Keith Richards

In honor of Lou Reed’s birthday, Keith Richards has recorded a cover of “I’m Waiting for the Man.” The digital single & music video are out now and featured on the upcoming album The Power of the Heart: A Tribute to Lou Reed, which includes newly recorded covers from Keith Richards, Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, Rufus Wainwright, Lucinda Williams, Maxim Ludwig & Angel Olsen, Rickie Lee Jones, Mary Gauthier, Bobby Rush, Automatic, The Afghan Whigs, and Rosanne Cash. This special collection will be released by Light in the Attic Records and available on Vinyl & CD at fine independent record shops worldwide on Record Store Day (April 20th).

It goes without saying that the legendary Lou Reed was a true rock ’n’ roll pioneer. From The Velvet Underground’s debut in 1967 all the way through the end of his days, Reed sang truth from his heart. He lived life to the limit—and then some. The Power of the Heart is a tribute to Reed’s freedom of expression with covers spanning his groundbreaking years with the Velvets into his majestic solo career. Each track is a glorious extension of the Rock ’n’ Roll Animal’s soul, ever adventurous and avant-garde.

Wendy O. Williams of The Plasmatics, hours after her arrest at The Palms nightclub, Jan. 19, 1981, MiIwaukee

“Wendy O. Williams was roughed up and arrested by Milwaukee police on charges of indecency…[Williams] reportedly asked for a female officer to escort her to the station. Instead of that, she was put into a van where a male officer began what is known as ‘an aggressive search,’ and Williams slapped him for taking liberties. The officer then threw her to the ground and reportedly kicked her in the face.…Williams was later charged with battery of a police officer and resisting arrest.”

Muses and Women of Pop Music - Jane & Peter Asher and their Dad : Nothing to ‘like’ or enjoy here but worthy of note I believe April 26: On this day in 1969, Dr. Richard Asher was found dead.

 


Under the total excuse for enjoying the career of Jane Asher and her connection to Paul, I post this fascinating detail from her family life. Largely because it is about her dear Dad. 

Now it comes about that I have worked with several clients who it is my certain and firm belief had Münchausen's Syndrome and also the development of that which we now call Münchausen’s By Proxy which involves the use and abuse of others in the ‘cry for help’ often meted out upon children and/or other family members. I didn’t know Jane and Peter Asher’s Dad was so important. The man who worked with a claim to name this syndrome is a towering figuring in therapy and psychological development.

Nothing to “like” here, folks - just a tragic anniversary noted, FYI. The good doctor was the father of siblings Peter, Jane and Clare; he was also a noted physician, specializing in psychiatric maladies. In 1951, he coined the term “Münchausen syndrome” to describe patients who fabricated dramatic symptoms and illnesses for attention (as distinct from malingering, which entails hypochondria for a specific tactical goal).


Dr. Asher presided over the home on Wimpole Street in London, where he maintained an office for seeing patients. Paul resided in the attic there from 1964 through 1966; in the basement music room, he and John worked on songs, notably “I Want To Hold Your Hand.”


The doctor, hailed as an advanced thinker - ever critical of ideas accepted because they soothed, rather than being supported by empirical evidence - suffered from depression. He gave up his practice during the sixties. At the time his body was found (dead from an overdose of alcohol and barbiturates), he’d been missing for several days. He was 57.

Dr. John - Such A Night (1982)

Dr. John recorded the original version of Such A Night in 1971, and while I like that version, this rendition from a PBS Soundstage program in 1982 is so alive, exuberant and filled with the New Orleans spirit.

If I don’t do it somebody else will
