Innovator and fascinating guy. I hope he's doing well back on Saturn.
Today, in Musical History, March 24th, 1973: On the "Transformer" tour, during a show in Buffalo, Lou Reed is performing "I'm Waiting For The Man" when a fan jumps on stage, yelling "LEATHER !", and bites Lou on the ass.
The fan is grabbed by security and thrown out. Lou shrugs it off, and finishes the show. He later commented that "America seems to be really good at raising purebred animals"; Somewhat amazingly, Lou's first live album, "Rock And Roll Animal", is not named after the incident.

Boss cover.
Totally off topic--I saw a 2015 horror comedy movie yesterday called "He Never Died." It's starring Henry Rollins (whom I used to see at the 9:30 Club, and just generally around, in DC in the early 1980s). It wasn't bad. You might want to catch it for a chuckle, if you haven't seen it already. Rollins does antisocial very well. Hehe. It's free on Tubi.
