Since then he has seen quite a few changes and made fine, weird, wired rock-'n'-roll music out of all of them, no matter how bizarre or diverse-high school memories and heroin jags, sweet romances and violent one-night stands, soirées with Warhol's underground crew and cruises through the lowlife. There has been one constant throughout. That gun is still drawn, and likely loaded. Danger is what Lou Reed's music has always been about. And that makes it classic, vital rock 'n' roll...
With high drama, the Senate shut its ;all wooden doors for a secret debate on the latest hurdle facing the Panama Canal treaties: charges linking Moisés Torrijos, the brother of Panama's strongman, General Omar Torrijos, to heroin smuggling in the U.S. Called at the insistence of Kansas Republican Robert Dole and other treaty opponents, the two-day session attracted as many as 70 Senators, practically a mob in Capitol Hill terms.

The good guys are the Marines in Company C, all of whom, apparently, fought the war against their will. The Vietnamese peasants are represented by picturesque extras who seem to be refugees from a way ward road company of Flower Drum Song...
...here was Allen Ginsberg, in his simple, meditative manner, still writing poetry and singing and earning a living from his art. The counter culture rebel of the '60s said he no longer saves articles on heroin smuggling and the intelligence community; he no longer peers out of national magazine covers from behind a cloak of marijuana smoke proclaiming that the government makes criminals out of "the most sensitive people in America." I thought of a title for the interview: "the mellowing of Allen Ginsberg...
