...Reed has already been there. Public Image owes a debt to the saber-toothed experiments of Reed's late '60s band, the Velvet Underground, and Reed still remains several furlongs ahead of anyone in laying down jagged fragments of autobiography that cut like pieces of a shattered mirror. Growing Up in Public is a collection of primal assaults and tentative love songs that all together are like a return ticket from a voyage to the end of the night...
...barber would unlock the door of his shop at 7 a.m. or so-early, because it was an important ceremony of his day to shave the important and self-important men of the town, whose gold-lettered mugs stood splendidly on the shelf above the mirror.

Once, in Vienna, a Stockhausen score called for him to strike...
...inactive character. Talk, even when it is not "soap talk," is still talk, and begins, after a while, to beg for action. But Leib prefaces Terry Rex with the performance of Terry Won't Talk. This play, after all, is the product of Terry's mind, and serves to mirror that mind, highlighting in dumbshow the roiling preoccupations which, although related to Terry's burden of the past, more directly prevent him from writing...
