R.I.P...Lou

[Odelay]

I don't know how many various local bands in all of the places I've lived that have covered this song. A classic amongst classics.

[Prospero]

And appropriate for this week too - this song from his album New York.

I saw the halloween parade in greenwich Village in the early 1980s, on the eve of the plague. A magical and celebratory event. This was Lou's haunting song on the subject

Lou Reed one of my heroes. RIP. I'm glad to see that some people here still listen to good music. I should have gone to his last show in sf.

Shocked. What a legend.

Lest not forget he was an unabashed tranny chaser.

RIP Lou Reed. My playlist will always honor you.

RIP Lou. You changed the way I listened to and appreciate music.

I liked him best with Stephen Hunter and Dick Wagner. I saw them in SF in 1975 and København, 1978. "My life was saved by rock n roll."

[Jackal]

This man was an incredibly talented musician and legendary rock star! I always respect anyone who could write a song or just say that transwomen are worthy of love and desire.

Really shocking. Some deaths catch you totally offguard and rip at your heart.
So sad to hear.

Rest Easy, Lou Reed...there will never be another like you!!!
