Lou Reed RIP

[corpus callosum]

Lou Reed of the Velvet Underground has sadly died, aged 71.

His work might not appeal to many here but he was a class act, IMHO.

RIP.

What a legend

I love this interview. The fact that he and Laurie Anderson were married still sort of blows my mind. I never would have thought of them together, but they seem the perfect couple :

Jenny said, when she was just five years old
You know there's nothin' happening at all
Every time she put on the radio
There was nothin' goin' down at all
Not at all

One fine mornin', she puts on a New York station
And she couldn't believe what she heard at all
She started dancin' to that fine-fine-fine-fine music
Ooohhh, her life was saved by rock 'n' roll
Hey baby, rock 'n' roll

I would say RIP, but I doubt he'll ever rest.

Gonna miss him... 8)

He did make some pretty amazing music, indeed

RIP Lou

"One chord is fine, two chords are pushing it. Three chords and you're into jazz.

Great interviews..
RIP

Velvet Underground + Nico and White Light/White Heat are two of the most brilliant albums to come out of the last sixty years. Lou's influence has and will continue to stand the test of time. We owe him so much. Rest in peace.

Guess I lied... Probably my favorite VU or Lou track.

Not a fan of the drug, but I can't think of a song that captures it better than this one...
