Lou Reed @ Ground Zero, 7 WTC, NYC | pics & commentary
"After the speeches, several musicians celebrated the opening, including Suzanne Vega and New York icon, singer-songwriter Lou Reed. Reed, performing solo on guitar, sang his classics 'Perfect Day' and 'Sweet Jane' and peppered his act with commentary about the heated New York real estate market and US politics.
'Real estate New York! Ho ho! Who's running the show?' he sang, then took a jab at Republican Senator John McCain for his support of the US role in Iraq. Last week in New York the Arizona senator, who is seen as a strong contender for the 2008 presidential election, voiced his support of the US move as key to the war against terror. ['Have you seen John McCain's speech at the New School? He'll never get elected by anybody over sixth-grade education!' said the rocker." [Yahoo News]
Yahoo left out the parts where Lou suggested all this building cost A LOT of money and assured the crowd he was there for us (not Silverstein). Someone also yelled "Lou Reed for President". Reed jokingly agreed it was a good idea. It wasn't until 3/4 through his two song set that he started talking either, and before that he seemed miserable to be on stage.

when did Lou Reed start looking like Mel Gibson's crazy uncle?

I see more of an Abe Vigoda similarity, personally.
Also, why did he perform at this event?

it would be so much cooler if the brazilian girl got rid of her band and was just a model. why let crappy music get in the way of more sex?

Rugby players spend a lot of time physical training Compared to other form of sports.I have read the
Rugby laws mentioned on this site. It's a gripping sport which targets the grip strength and the active mindedness of a player. American football and rugby league are also primarily collision sports, but their tackles tend to terminate much more quickly. For professional rugby, players are often chosen on the basis of their size and apparent strength and they develop the skill and power over the passage of time. In modern rugby considerable attention is given to fitness and aerobic conditioning as well as basic weight training.
