Holy Shit! Lou Reed died yesterday and its still setting in.
71 years old. Probably shouldn't have made it to 40 but still, he was an original, a true pioneer.
If the first Velvet Underground was all he ever did, he'd still be a legend.
Our rock stars are getting old kids!
We're going to be listening to a lot of the Velvets this week. Also, some of those great 70's LPs like "Transformer", "Sally Can't Dance", "Berlin" and "Coney Island Baby."
And we won't forget about his 1989 masterpiece, "New York".
We'll take a pass on listening to "Metal Machine Music" but appreciate it for what it was/is.
And we'll try to forget all together about his 2011 collaboration with Metallica, "Lulu".
