How Out Of It Was Charlie Rose When Lou Reed Was On?

Lou Reed and Charlie Rose.  Charlie Rose was at his most comfortable and most effective on the overnight CBS Nightwatch, so what does that tell you about Rose?  For what it's worth, I remember this interview on the Charlie Rose tee vee show when it was first on, and the most amazing thing about it was the mature, warm perspective on Lou Reed which Lou Reed had acquired during his life.  Reed's generosity toward Charlie Rose felt absolutely genuine and unforced.  And it was easy to see just how tiny Lou Reed was.  The guy was ess emm all small, big talent though.  This was nine years after New York.  Rose was as clueless as ever.
