The legendary founder of Velvet Underground discusses his ambitious new work The Raven (based on the writings of Edgar Allen Poe), his partner Laurie Anderson, and why we're drawn to things we shouldn't do. He also performs, among others, songs from his legendary solo album Blue Mask as well as the classic "Walk On The Wild Side." Dig into newground with Lou Reed.
