The apple of my eye just said to me,
“I keep thinking of apples. Inside the apple the seed starts off pale and immature and slowly develops to maturity – and then time takes hold of the outside. Crinkles and wrinkles and a softness happens on the outside but the pip remains the same …… bit like people really.”
That’ll teach me to put Lou Reed’s Transformer on the iPod ……….

I borrowed ‘Transformer’ from a friend and was listening to it over the weekend for the first time in ages. It makes me fourteen years old again and evokes strong memories of my friends and I sitting about trying to decide if the woman on the back cover was Lou Reed in drag or not and discussing the relative merits of he and David Bowie.
I wish it reminded of when I was 14 …… sheeesssh you kids! I first heard it when the telephone rang and a friend just played New York Conversation then hung up …. I expect he’s ancient now as well or dead ….. lost touch many moons ago ……
That was in 1974. I’m fifty already. Already.
As I said …… a mere child …… a Jewish child apparently …..
Ha ha ha! Actually no, but my longest term friend is.
I’m finding your eye slightly unnerving …… you never blink ……

So I’ve been told …… many times ….
Who’s Lou Reed?
A bloke wot sings …… well ’singing’ perhaps isn’t the right word …… interesting anyway …….
Gasp! Front man of ‘The Velvet Underground’, a sixties band associated with the Andy Warhol. Their first album had a Warhol banana on the cover.
[I was leading Sledpress gently towards true knowledge ..... all this *gasping* can frighten people - tee hee]
Ok. Sorry. No more gasps from me.

You aren’t fooling anyone. You’ve just been looking for a reason to call yourself a ‘Pip’.
