00:00Without land, we are the people without tradition, we are the people without a country, a voice or a mirror.

00:21J'ai adoré l'instrumentale. J'ai adoré l'instrumentale et j'ai une petite maison.

00:36J'ai une petite maison.

00:38J'ai une petite maison.

00:40J'ai une petite maison.

01:12The first thing I saw when I opened on the first page, bang, there was this poem.

01:19And I thought I knew what he was saying and I thought it was today in Trump's America.

01:31The poem was written in the early 70s.

01:341970, yeah.

01:36And it's really relevant today.

01:38Absolutely relevant today and a lot of observations in there.

01:44Just even the opening line, we are the people without land.

01:48Because in each of our respective countries, there are people who own an enormous amount of land.

01:57I also think that single opening phrase also means that as he goes through the poem,

02:06it's obvious that we are people without a land either, without a land of our own.

02:13You mentioned Trump before.

02:16Was it like a political statement for you to do that?

02:20No, I didn't need to make a statement because the poem is a statement and it's Lou Reed's statement.

02:29There's a statement within the poem, if I believe, and if that's so, it would be Lou Reed's statement.

02:40Although I think that if someone had asked him about that, he would say no, I'm describing.

02:47That's my guess.

02:49It's just a very good description.

02:57Maybe there's a condemnation.

03:00It's not a pleasant, it's not complimentary, that's for sure.

03:06The guy was a hero to me artistically.

03:12He was someone I admired and looked up to because of his skills as a songwriter

03:21and what he was able to put across, and a lyricist, two separate things,

03:29and what he was able to put across in his songs, and also the vibes in the music.

03:36We might have spent, in our respective lives, a total of maybe 10 hours together.

03:49I visited him in his apartment once and stayed for an hour or two,

03:55chatted a while, and took too many Valium.
