We considered this, but ultimately went with a film shot a few months later, where Lou is clad in a black leather jacket and wraparound shades, drinking Coke. In the first, he is wearing a jacket and turtleneck, smoking, looking nervously from side to side, the picture of a sweet yet mischievous college graduate. When Britta and I sat down to score Warhol’s "Lou Reed ," we first watched two very different films, shot a few months apart. I was singing “Not a Young Man Anymore,” a song Lou Reed wrote at the age of 24, while his 24-year-old self (frozen in time on the screen behind us) drank Coca-Cola and stared at the audience. On Saturday night my wife, Britta, and I performed our multimedia show, "13 Most Beautiful: Songs for Andy Warhol’s Screen Tests," at a festival in Las Vegas this show pairs short, silent film portraits by Andy Warhol with a score and songs we have created for his subjects.
