"Wild Side" is a Novel where the Hero gets to be Best Friend with Lou Reed reminding me of the Song "Walk on the Wild Side" of the latter. This Famous Song was from his Second Solo Album (Transformer -1972). It was produced by David Bowie and Mick Ronson, and released as a Double A-side with "Perfect Day". The Song received Wide Radio Coverage, despite its touching on Taboo Topics such as Transgender People, Drugs, Male Prostitution, and Oral Sex. Lou Reed (March 2, 1942 ““ October 27, 2013) was an American Musician, Singer and Songwriter. He was the Lead Guitarist, Singer and Principal Songwriter for the Rock Band the "Velvet Underground" and also had a Solo Career that spanned Five Decades. The "Velvet Underground" achieved Little Commercial Success during their Existence, but are now regarded as One of the Most Influential Bands in the History of Underground and Alternative Rock Music.

Michael Imperioli is turning his Old Relationship with Lou Reed into a Novel, him being a Huge Fan as he claimed before “Lou is my Hero, basically, out of Anybody.“ and Lou Reed who was apparently a Big Sopranos Fan... The Story starts with a 16-Year-Old Boy named Matthew who´s just lost his Father. After his Mother uproots them to move from Queens to a Fancy Apartment Building in Manhattan, Matthew discovers he´s now Neighbors with Lou Reed and his Transgender Lover named Rachel.... The Music Legend becomes a Substitute Father-Figure and Mentor...
