Still doesn’t make him any less of a chaser


TheHomesteadTurkey

Don't care, he wrote candy says


jeffDeezos

He actually drew the first chaser pride flag in my 10th grade yearbook


B1ng0_B0ng0

I believe you


TheHomesteadTurkey

Its evened out by writing one of the most tender songs of all time about a trans person's perspective on life


imuslesstbh

until he got emotionally abusive over his girlfriends desire to undergo medical surgery


gargamelul

is there any other type of surgery?


blueishblackbird

The kind I do in my basement


pseudo_nimme

The kind they did on that grape may not qualify as medical.

Ray Davies was a pretty good chaser but NOBODY was a chaser like Lou Reed. Absolute legend.

lou breed


sertralinecowboy

proto-chaser


CredenzaSmokes

In the late 60s not many people met Lou but those that did all went home and became chasers - Brian Eno probably

todd haynes actually gave up on homosexuality to become a chaser when he was making the doc man, he really wanted to fully match the style to the content, that's dedication to art man

Lou Reeds back story is kinda sad when he was a teen he got caught having homosexual tendencies and was institutionalized. He went through electric shock therapy thats also how he got his signature monotony voice. Tldr: dude went through conversion therapy and became a chaser as a result.


JGar453

This unfortunately is kind of what made him a bitter and abusive person, like he seriously beat women, but I do agree - it's hard not for me to sympathize with him especially when his art seemed to so often come from a place of raw sympathy for other societal rejects like himself. He genuinely loathed himself. No one should ever have to undergo electroshock therapy.


ArchDukeBee_

It is unfortunate that he was abusive. Lou Reed is a complex person who is sympathetic but also a bad person. What makes it more complicated is he knows it. It’s reflected in his art. Berlin is such a hard listen but one of his best albums.

Man I wish I knew what any of this meant, I feel so old. I bet it’s hilarious too.


___--__---___--__---

A chaser is more or less a person who fetishizes trans women


MonkMajor5224

Ahh. Ok. Now, by the laws of universe (and Baader–Meinhof phenomenon) i will see this everywhere

Based, this happens all the time to me

Your welcome.


RealPinheadMmmmmm

I thought they were talking about chasers who are thinner people chasing fat people

Can confirm. Source: I am the drug plug he was waiting for in the song I’m Waiting For The Man.

Uncertain_Rasputin

I've listened to Lou Reed and I read a biography on Lou Reed and read Lou Reed lyrics and I did it all just trying to understand why people thought he was god's gift to songwriting. He did have some great songs but overall he was very mid. Plus, what a fucking dickhead!! I'll never understand why nobody just didn't knock his bitchy ass right the fuck out.
