David Bowie, Patti Smith, Talking Heads, REM, and U2are some of the most esteemed artists in contemporary music over thelast two decades and are distinctly different. The critical accolade"seminal" is applied all too frequently to artists who really don'tdeserve it, but when referring to Reed, it almost seems likeunderstatement. Produced as part of the outstanding "AmericanMasters" series for public television, Lou Reed is as much anengrossing portrait of the man as it is a walk through the turbulentand fascinating times which shaped his music. There are only a few icons of rock and roll whom one might chooseto designate as significant artists, but as Lou Reed: Rock and RollHeart so emphatically underscores, Reed is hardly your typicalrock-and-roll musician.
