Lou Reed Changes His Tune

After the request by UK talent show sensation Susan Boyle to perform a cover of his 1972 song Perfect Day on America's Got Talent was nixed a couple of months ago, Lou Reed made amends by asking her to let him direct the video of her version of the song.  The decision to turn down her original request reportedly caused the dowdy Scottish singer to cancel her appearance on the US show.  Reed insists the refusal was due a publishing rights error and had nothing to do with him or his opinion of Boyle, who more than readily accepted Reed's olive branch, telling the Sunday Mail, 'I loved that Lou understood how much it meant to me to film in Scotland. I didn't mind how much it rained or blew a gale - I enjoyed every minute of it.
