Dzika strona Ulicy. Lou Reed i Walk on the Wild Side
Journal Title: Kultura Popularna - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 53
Abstract
The article discusses Lou Reed's "Walk On the Wild Side" - one of the most important songs in rock music history. Out of ethnographic insight on New York Lou Reed creates a story of the '60s, where - in opposition to a hippie utopia - the rational "money philosophy" dominates. Lou Reed also invites new actors of the big city life to the story, playing with pop culture consumer's taste and breaking its taboo.<br/><br/>
