Josh Alan Friedman: When Josh Met Lou...

“They called me up and said Murray the K is gonna play your record tonight...finally on comes Murray the K, except it’s Paul Sherman. He says Murray the K is ill tonight, and I can’t fuckin’ believe it, right, my big moment. So Sherman played it, he was an asshole. Not that Murray the K wasn’t an asshole, but if you’re going to have an asshole play it, you want the biggest.”

"Lou Reed: Ugly People Got No Reason to Live" by Josh Alan Friedman.
