Lou Reed's New York

Soundcheck | May 3, 2010
Lou Reed has celebrated New York in song for the past 30 years. Today on the show, he talks about his newest take on New York -- as a photographer. And, we'll check out a new art exhibit that looks at the history of music and art in downtown New York. Also: Gershon Kingsley. He's a pioneer of the synthesized music, and he's just released a new recording devoted to the spiritual side of electronica.
