Lou Reed - Good Evening Mr. Waldheim Lyrics

Mr. Rathke this thing still has legs.

Jesse Jackson is and always was a piece of shit. Thanks Lou for setting the record straight.

Bonfire of the vanities. New York in the 1980's!

I had the chance to see him on that album tour in Paris, it was crazy, I was 22, he played for almost 4 hours. Great musician, a great poet too, and an amazing witness of his time. Legend, RiP Mr Reed

he just kills it no ground common enough for me and you

I had no idea that Reed took this well-deserved slap at Jesse Jackson.
Jackson made much of having worked with MLK. Hut I read King's biography, and Kind got so mad at Jackson that he once said: "I know that you are trying to build a career, but you are not going to build it on me."
When Obama won the domination, Jackson insulted him, kill whatever career he had left.
Then there was Jackson embraced (physically and publicly) both Yassir Arafat and Lois Farrakhan, and was heard in public calling New York City "Hymie-town." One of those things one could overlook, but all three of them, that paints a damming picture.

The whole album 😊👌

(2019.5.22.)

I heard this album in 1989 I think, it was my introduction to American politics.
It's been a pretty interesting 30 years.

What a great great song!

Farrakkan still spreading his hatred of Jews 30 yrs after this song

Great stuff...excellent album

so relevant in this day and age.Mr Waldheim has many incarnations

Common; Workers; Masses; Unwashed; Plebes; Useless Eaters; Drag on th 'Conomy (Must kill so mine will eat. Darwin 'n' Jesus).

common ground,does that include me?

And Pontiff, how are you?

Listening in 2018

Obama associating with Farrakhan's Nation Of Islam - covered up by the Democrats

Lou Reed didn´ t like Jesse Jackson much!

it is more about rasict bullsh.

"If I ran for President and once was a member of the Klan
Wouldn't you call me on it?"
Ironic with David Duke running for the Senate and the lack of people calling him out. Damn I wish Lou were alive.

He got like 12 votes. So the sensible thing to do is panic and virtue signal

Drew: Don't forget that the line ends "Like I did with Farrakhan"
He nailed it. But some folks still don't get it.

As a rock n roller, and as a Jew, I adore Lou Reed for this song

As a rock n roller & a Gentile, I adore Lou Reed for this song.

this guy should be on manhattan,a large statue instead of the statue of biggotry.damn straight....

Lou Lou Lou.i still miss you.

U2 & Eric Clapton, to be more precise.Sorry for I don't miss you.

I wish i could say i understand your messages. but U2 and Eric Clapton?what the......?

be more specific

I love the old U2 stuff.and some of the old yardbirds material.i do miss that period.

i simply wrote,Lou i still miss you,because ,the loss of Lou Reed is still present in most peoples life.we lost 1 of the greatest songwriters.hope that clears things up 4 you.

Feeling a bit like a 2016 campaign song right now, civil rights workers, Pontiffs, Klan members................

Marxism is evil. Period

Pretty Pontiff.......LOL

Mike Rathke - like a boss.

Spliff time 09.08

JUST PERFECT SONG AND ALBUM,LOU R.I.P WE WILL NEVER FORGET YOU.....

Some of my all time fave lyrics from Lou. Great song...great album.

This song sucks to high fuckin hell1 RIP you dog.

Damn, you are an ass

Truth hurts, doesn't it?

read the book of Acts save your soul my friend

I miss you already.

Yes. After Kurt Waldheim wartime record was exposed he had a controversial meeting with the Pope.

Comes the revolution brother, we'll strangle the last King with the guts of the last Pope.

Great song, lou is a legend & will be missed RIP, genius.

But what's up with that 'pontiff'? Was he referring to the pope?

brass: Yes. The pope at the time was John Paul the second.

Goodnight Mr Reed, thanks for the music and the social commentary, you will be missed.

RIP Brilliance.

R.I.P. We're gonna miss you!

racism is racism

Reed is calling it out

great tune..great lyrics..blowtorch guitar.

When I was in the army, they even put the austrian flag on half-mast when Waldheim (he was officer of the Wehrmacht and knew about war crimes, but became president of the 2. Republic though) died.

OK; I will ask my mother et al, with/without justice acc. ID Accusation/Publications, Notifications /Casus Alliierten Killer Waldheim too, Nazi pig HD Gensher (und seine braunen Schnallen); bepisste amnestie/y ernas. Lion Baeckerei/uni/kiosk/springer(sven simon)/Autodafé.. VETO "Die zur 'Befreiung des deutschen Volkes vom Nationalsozialismus und Militarismus' erlassenen Rechtsvorschriften, werden von den Bestimmungen dieses Grundgesetzes nicht beruehrt" Art 139 Gg Abs 1

-----------------------
a good band aid to more justice, as amnestie/y (sic!?), but why the waldheim ID notifications/publications in killing cases, censorship, sexism, deprivation, breaking the oath of citizen, office, (Meineid Staasbuerger, m/w, or? open Casus A Hitler/Eva Braun, NSDAP/japsen war criminals, Amtsinhaber islamisten, all turkeyes here) are still not made successful. What is a second crime, f.i. is fa waldheim since 1944 on the Scotland Yard files, CIA/KGB, Berlin Document Center.

not any more

get em lou! totally lou on all four cylinders! 'good evening pontiff how are u?' HA!

Now we have a real nazi pope

well okay. it's a matter of taste.

BS, it's a great album

it's not underrated. it's just a bad album.

make someting better than.

@Wasko Maleducado than what?

you have to listen all album in vinyl..most underated lp ever

I gotta say, this is a bitch to try and play along to!

Love it.

The names may be circa 1988, but the problem Lou is singing about is still real.

Farrakhan in back in the news with antisemitism.

one of best LP ever!!

Rabinowitz! That's the name of my maternal grandparents :)

@allenbroadway next thing, we'll find out that he was not entirely heterosexual or clean-living ...

@cristytovar

Yes

"Jesse you say common ground, does that include the PLO?"

whisky110, I agree with you. This is Lou's best
album. I like much of his music over the years, but
this album is so impressive. Lou makes you feel
like you are there on a summer evening, hitting the
streets to see what's going on. Someone turned me
on to this album, in N.Y., when I was there in the early
90's, and I've listened to it regularly ever since. Great
post vivemaker, Thanks.

I played this to death in '89 too. I dunno.... I still think it's Lou's best album !

I'll always think of my brother John when I hear this track.

I love it
