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.
