Lou Reed meets the Australian press in 1974

In 1974, Lou Reed came to Australia to play some shows in Melbourne, Adelaide and Sydney (his support act on that tour was AC/DC). Upon his arrival at Sydney Airport, he was ushered into the press room where a horde of journalists were waiting to interview him. Despite their best efforts to get a rise out of him by asking provocative questions, he managed to maintain his impassive mien throughout. This segment was first broadcast on August 19, 1974 on GTK (Get To Know), a ten-minute magazine-style program about pop culture that ran on the ABC from 1969 to 1975.
