Since the media focus has rightfully been on New York this week because of an anniversary we'd all like to forget, I thought I would post a quip from one of my favorite NYC singers Lou Reed.
Generations before mine knew him as the lead singer of The Velvet Underground and for his inspired solo songs of the 1970s, like "Walk on the Wild Side."
But, those of us who are part of the MTV Generation (also known as Gen Xers), first heard of Lou Reed with his videos to "I Love You Suzzane" and "Video Violence," which was recorded a full 25 years before borderline snuff films and executions could be seen on Youtube.
Here is the quote from Lou Reed:
"I think that everything happens for a reason, everything happens when it's going to happen."
