Re: Lou Reed 1942-2013 R.I.P.
Genuinely puzzled as I lived through the period and don't recall any acts that sounded like the Beach Boys other than the Beach Boys whereas many aped the Beatles or the Stones; unless there is a link to Phil Spectre through that music-recorded-in-a-tunnel effect. Pet Sounds was the favourite album of my best friend and it drove me up the wall; our tastes converged on everything else. I must have missed something, or it depends on how you trace the influence, which is more obvious with the Beatles than the Beach Boys, and for that matter Lou Reed, whose influence may not be obvious from this vantage point but was felt in songwriting as much if not more than actual performance.

No doubt Lou was an influence on music as was the Velvet Underground but how much of an influence was he on what we do here on HA?
He and his cast of characters including Andy Warhol and others influenced the avant garde club scene of the sixties which still lives on in some ways in the transparties of NYC. Creativity, music and acceptance.
Maybe I am out of my gourd.

Yes he was! In fact, here is an article that says Reed had a longterm trans girlfriend he lived with named Rachel in the '70s. http://dangerousminds.net/comments/r...anssexual_muse

A few from Lou's 1974 album, Sally Can't Dance. "NY Stars" is Lou's middle finger to imitators who copied his style. "Kill Your Sons" was written about Lou's own experiences at a mental hospital when he was a teenager. His parents sent him there to receive electro-shock therapy in an attempt to "cure" him of his bisexuality.
