thanks jord -

y' know, i was going to be an asshole as usual and correct you that lou reed's birth name was firbank, not rabinowitz. but according to wikipedia, that's wrong too. his birth name is... reed! that's what they say, anyway.

i think I was schul fatigued at that point but I pulled the Rabinowitz information from: jewcy.com

here it is:
In the pantheon of Jewish rock visionaries, Lou Reed (his father changed the family name from Rabinowitz) ranks up there with Bob Dylan.

apparently he was born Lou Reed but only because his Dad was hiding the heritage,
