Just got all my Lou Reed/Velvet CDs to upload to my iTunes to make a tribute CD for myself.
He's one of the greats.
Looking at my Transformer CD I remembered how turned on I was by the girl on the back cover. I think it was Holly Woodlawn? I loved all those T-Girls from the Warhol Factory, one of my first exposures to T-Girls and men who dress as woman and it's never left me.
Lou Reed a rock n roll heart, a coney island baby. Put Lou in coach, put lou in!
I own the original vinyl for Metal Machine Music too.
So sad to see another hero leave us.
Rest in peace Lou.

Sad day. The Velvet Underground really shifted and shaped my views on what "good" music is. One of my favorite quotes: In a 1982 interview Brian Eno made the often repeated statement that while the first Velvet Underground album may have sold only 30,000 copies in its early years, "everyone who bought one of those 30,000 copies started a band."
No more walks on the wild side. One of the last American 60's icons passed away, after Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, Frank Zappa, Jerry Garcia, the only real 60's icon still alive is Grace Slick, Let's hope she will be 100 !!
Hey Joop what about Dylan? And brian Wilson? To mention but two immense musical figures - and icons
