Sinopse

Containing a body of work that spans more than three decades, Pass Thru Fire is a stunning collection of the lyrics of an American original. Through his many incarnations-from proto punk to glam rocker to elder statesman of the avant garde-Lou Reed’s work has maintained an undeniable vividness and raw beauty, fueled by precise character studies and rendered with an admirable shot of moral ambiguity. Beginning with his formative days in the Velvet Underground and continuing through his remarkable solo career-albums like Transformer, Berlin, New York, Magic and Loss, and Ecstasy-Pass Thru Fire is crucial to an appreciation of Lou Reed, not only as a consummate underground musician, but as one of the truly significant poets of our time.

LOU REED

Lewis Allen Reed nasceu em 1942 no Brooklyn, em Nova York. Em 1964, formou-se na Universidade de Syracuse, onde conheceu, em um curso de escrita criativa, o poeta norte-americano Delmore Schwartz, que se tornaria seu amigo e mentor. No ano seguinte, junto com o galês John Cale, que já havia trabalhado com compositores do quilate de LaMonte Young, criou o Velvet Underground, banda que incorporou de forma definitiva os elementos da música de vanguarda ao rock and roll. Além de Atravessar o fogo, Reed já publicou dois livros de fotografia.
