Book Description Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. In this funny and poignant memoir and cultural history, the television personality, columnist, and author of Drag pays homage to Lou Reeds groundbreaking album Transformer on its fiftieth anniversary and recalls its influence on his coming of age and coming out through glam rock.In November 1972, Lou Reed released his album, Transformer because he thought it was dreary for gay people to have to listen to straight peoples love songs. That groundbreaking idea echoed with the times. That same year, Sweden was the first country to legalize gender-affirming surgery, and San Francisco struck down employment discrimination based on sexual orientation.Sometimes an artistic creation perfectly aligns with a broader social and political history, and Transformerwith the songs Walk on the Wild Side, Perfect Day, and Viciousperfectly captured its time. Walk on the Wild Side was banned on radio across the country but became a massive hit when young people threatened to boycott stations that would not play it. The album's cover featured a high-contrast image of Lou, flaunting a new mascara'd glamrock incarnation, shot by legend Mick Rock, thereby underscoring his intention to create "a gay album."In Transformer, Doonan tells the story of how Lou Reed came to make the album with the help of David Bowie, and places its creation within the course of Reeds life. Doonan offers first-hand testimony of the albums impact on the LGBTQ+ community, recalling how it transformed his own life as a 20-year-old working class kid from Reading, England, who had just discovered the joys of London Glam Rock and was sparked by the artistic freedom of Warhols The Factory. Transformer was a revelationhearing Reeds songs, Doonan understood how the world was changing for him and his friends.A poignant, personal addition to modern music and LGBTQ+ history, Transformer captures a pivotal moment when those long silenced were finally given a voice. As transgender icon Candy Darling, highlighted in his lyrics, told Reed, Its so nice to hear ourselves.Transformer includes approximatively 16 pages of black-and-white and color photos. "Paying homage to Lou Reed's groundbreaking album Transformer on its fiftieth anniversary, this first-hand account of the album's impact on the LGBTQIA+ community captures a pivotal moment when those long silenced were finally given a voice"-- Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
