Heroin St. has a nice ring to it.

It's such a Perfect Way, I'm glad I walked it with you.

I live next door to him on Vicious Circle. It's exactly what it sounds like but life can be that way.

The corner of White Light and White Heat would be the awesome

I'm going to mail myself to the naming ceremony to save money.

Probably going to have to wait until he's sick and dirty, more dead than alive.

......SWEETLY!

I hope just one person remembers that one.

I think it should be called Hassle Street or Ecstasy Lane.

Think I might wanna fly fly away, from this dirty boulevard.

I'm a landlord so I'm laughing 'til I wet my pants at these replies...

/you can believe it, man, it's true

/ heh get it?

Let's hope they open the package with a small pair of scissors.

If it wasnt for Dick Wagner & Steve Hunter, Lou Reed's career would have been over before Berlin & Rock & Roll Animal were recorded.

It looks like he's been dead since the mid 70s anyway. Why name a street after him? senseless waste of taxpayer's dollars.

You're all making jokes that I gave up long ago.

Curmudgeon Lane?

Would have been cooler if Lou Bega was jockin' for a street name.
Avenue Number 5! ...a little bit of...

Dude, I was born almost 20 years after the Velvets were still awesome, and I still "remember" it.

/Can't wait for my lawn!

You people seem to be forgetting that he was The Original Rapper, too.

/makes the Fresh Prince look like Ice T

Shaved Her Legs and Then He Was a Broadway?

Um, Lou, if someone names a street after you, it shouldn't be because YOU urged them to do so. Very, very lame.

There's a very good chance he's being 100% sarcastic, it is Lou Reed after all.

Are you saying he's just a little tease?

Hear the way he walks, see the way he talks, everybody knows.

Campaigning to have a street named after him?
Is he that into himself?
Isn't that something you let OTHER people do, unless you're a self-centred douche?

Alrighty then...

How about One-Trick Pony Lane?
Or Living On A Hopped-Up Rep For Forty Years Avenue?

Obviously you haven't heard:
All the Velvet Stuff
Berlin
Rock N Roll Animal
Coney Island Baby
Street Hassle
New Sensations
New York
Magic and Loss
Ecstasy

I guess being named one of the most influential artists ever doesn't matter if you've only had one true top 40 single.
