The View from the Bandstand
Didn't really know he wrote. Got a copy of The Raven's lyrics in America in book form. Lou Reed made an album called 'the raven' heavily influenced/ as a tribute to Edgar Allen Poe in 2003 including a cover with Anthony Hegarty from Anthony and the Johnsons of 'Perfect Day' and Laurie Anderson and David Bowie somewhere in there too. I could never have imagined it covered like that, but it's perfect. The perfect cover of his own song.
