Added DiffLines:

* VocalEvolution: While Lou never had the prettiest voice to begin with, he ''did'' used to sing really well, especially during his time with Music/TheVelvetUnderground. Sometimes he could even sound sweet. As time went on, poor technique and constant drugs turned his voice into the coarse and barely in-tune croaky monotone most people know he sounds like.

Added DiffLines:

* Main/ThrivingExCrush: "Baton Rouge", which is a reflection on the narrator's failed marriage (possibly related to Reed's marriage to Sylvia Morales), with the following lines:
--> So thanks for the card the announcement of child
--> And I must say you and Sam look great
--> Your daughter's gleaming in that -
--> - white wedding dress with pride
--> Sad to say I could never bring that to you that wide smile

* LyricalDissonance: If you'd never heard "Walk on the Wild Side" before and just listened to the backing track--a smooth, upbeat, hook-filled bit of jazzy folk-pop with some light orchestral strings in the second half, you'd never guess in a million years that the song had lyrics that dealt with drugs, male prostitution, transsexuality, and oral sex.
