Lou Reed Poet-musician at Green room table, Public Theater on Lafayette Street New York September 1984, he came invited by Rose Lesniak, to be master of ceremonies at premiere of poetry-music video clips by Anne Waldman (oh! Oh! Plutonium) and myself (Father Death Blues) (photo & caption Allen Ginsberg  courtesy Stanford University Libraries/Allen Ginsberg Estate) #loureed #publictheater #annewaldman #allenginsberg #velvetunderground #poetry #poets #1984 #rocknrollanimal #delmoreschwartz #romeohadjuliette https://www.instagram.com/p/CVjIINuPsre/?utm_medium=tumblr
