So inspiring.

We can do whatever we want to.
:11:16
Cool.
:11:20
We'll be like these
beautiful, literary freaks.
:11:23
And brilliant and dark, sexy.
:11:28

When Lou Reed was 17 years old,
he was diagnosed...
:12:32
...as suffering from mood swings.
:12:37
He was subjected to electric-shock
treatment three times a week.

:12:47

his own psychic carnage...
:12:49
...and create some of the greatest
rock 'n' roll the world has ever heard.
