Reed, that is. We put him on the cover a long time ago. He was at our 10 year anniversary, when Yeti and Legbone got their butts in the newspaper assisting Tu "iron crotch" Jin-Sheng. ED got Lou to sign a spear, I think.
Anyway, he just shot our next cover, featuring the CEO of AOL. That's right, he has an upcoming photobook coming out, and people will buy it because he is Lou Reed, after all. He felt the cover shot gave him the perogative to tell us how to make our magazine. He wanted new cover blurbs and was hassling our publisher (my boss) with calls, emails, all sorts of junk (pun intended). You know what it's like to try to run a martial arts mag with the godfather of punk backseat driving? Of course you don't. Neither did I until this morning.
To quote my all time fav Reed song "Stick a fork in their ass and turn them over, they're done"
