“The Art of the Straight Line” features essays and riffs by Reed, a meditation on his three decades as a dedicated tai chi practitioner.
“Not to get too flowery here but I want more out of life than a gold record and fame,” he wrote. “I want to mature like a warrior.” He was so committed to the practice that he took his final breaths while “doing the famous 21 form of tai chi with just his musician’s hands moving through the air,” Anderson said at the time of his death.Reed began studying tai chi in the 1980s when he was still heavily into drugs, according to Anderson.
“He was very, very persistent,” she said, referring to his tai chi practice. “He managed to keep going for decades and become very, very proficient.”Reed was not alone as a rock star who was into tai chi, but he was an early devotee when the ancient practice became popular in the United States. “These are no longer bad boys,” she said, explaining that tai chi “teaches you how to get old, in a country where old people are kind of made fun of.”
