Nooo!

I saw Lou in concert in the early '90s. He was one of my favorite artists. He will be missed.

 

[ambient]

In my book, Lou's contributions to music exceed those of any Beatle or Stone.

Being introduced to Walk on the Wild Side was a musical milestone in my life, January of 7th grade.

I am spinning Transformer tonight!

 

[elicanis]

He had a very eclectic and influencing career as an artist.

Today, I renewed my ambitions to become the coolest guy in the world.

Previously, I knew I could only aspire to second place.

He had a very eclectic and influencing career as an artist.

I'm glad to see that he is being referred to as: "Lou Reed Rock Pioneer". The guy's vision was so far ahead of where everything else was artistically, that he was creating a path that never existed prior to his presentation of it.

He lived a productive life and left quite a legacy and legend.

His song 'Perfect Day' (from Transformer,1972) is currently being used for the new tv ads for the Sony PS4 Playstation.
RIP Lou Reed.

 

[tubed]

We all die, even legends, but this one is a big one gone.

 

[johnfalc]

He's the bulk of tonight's play list.
