I'm, waiting for my man

>I'm, waiting for my man
>twenty-six dollars, in my hand
Lou Reed is gay, right? The song is about how he's waiting for his boyfriend so they can go on their date, right?

Hes waiting for his heroine dealer

Yeah it's about buying heroin

Well Obviously.

>Hey white boy you chasing our women around?
>Oh no sir, it's the furthest thing from my mind

>hey whiteboi
>what you doin uptown

wtf why was lou so problematic?

doubtful
>Hey, white boy, what you doin' uptown?
>Hey, white boy, you chasin' our women around?
>Oh pardon me sir, it's the furthest from my mind (because he's gay)
>I'm just lookin' for a dear, dear friend of mine (his boyfriend)
>I'm waiting for my man
Aren't songs meanings supposed to be open to interpretation anyway?

It's about buying drugs

he's looking for...his dealer. the dealer that gives him heroin. the heroin dealer. lou reed's dealer.

dumbass

Isn't that almost $200 in today's money? Was heroin more expensive back then (considering how cheap it is now), was he buying for a long period of time/multiple people, or did he just use that much heroin in one day?

the best part about this song is how subtle it is (about drug exchange i mean)

He's bisexual and the song is not about being faggot.

celebrities buy huge quantities

I remember artie lange saying he'd often send a guy off with thousands to score smack for him

That song was written before he was famous though.

Reminder Philip Seymour Hoffman was found dead with 70 bags of heroin

in that case I guess he was just a massive junkie then

heroin has always been comparatively cheap too

your insecurities are showing...

A quality thread you got here, OP

fuck off back to plebbit faggot

He's a jew so that's just pocket change for him.
