About I'm Waiting For The Man
“I’m Waiting for the Man” visually describes the experience of buying heroin from a dealer, specifically $26 worth near the intersection of Lexington Avenue and 125th Street in Harlem, New York City. In various reviews, it is described as "tough garage rock" and a "proto-punk classic". In a song review for AllMusic, Dave Thompson called it "one of the all-time classic rock songs ... Over chunky guitar, clunking piano, and jackhammer drums, Reed half-sings, half-intones what he would once describe as a love song about a man and the subway. .
