Lou Reed: making music for ads is not selling out, I masturbate daily to stay creative
Legendary rock star Lou Reed has said that musicians should no longer shirk associations with the advertising world.
“It used to be that being involved in advertising was selling out. Now it’s opposite,” he said in answer to a question from Mumbrella on how the music and advertising industries could work better together.
Asked whether young people want to choose advertising or music for a career these days, he said “neither, if you’re in it for the money.”
“If it was about money, you’d be a politician,” he told journalists at a press conference at the Cannes Lions festival today.
Legend…
The difference between Lou and the creative people : every day vs all day.
Still got it !

He always was a wanker.
Anyone who heard the “Lulu” album he made with Metallica will realise that his last comment is true.

Graham, he may be a wanker, he may be not, but listen to New York!
