that Lou Reed will be the keynote speaker for 2008. Reed's keynote
will be held in conjunction with a screening of Julian Schnabel's
film Lou Reed's 'Berlin, which documents a recent performance of the

and subsequent solo work reverberate through the music world to this

style, staking new territory for Rock 'n' Roll. Reed will speak at
