Reed Blasts Fan For Cellphone Chime

Surly LOU REED admonished a fan when his cell phone rang during the rocker's keynote speech at the South By Southwest Festival in Texas on Thursday (13Mar08). The former Velvet Underground star, who inducted Leonard Cohen into the Rock + Roll Hall of Fame on Monday (10Mar08), lost his patience before a packed Austin Convention Center when he heard the ringtone. He barked, "What does 'Turn off your cellphone' mean in Texas? Do you have to say it differently, like 'Howdy?' Shove it in a cow."
