RIP Lou Reed.....

Oh man! What a shocker....or maybe not, according to a friend who was staying at the same hotel as him not so long ago and said he didn't look well at all.

    some places are saying it's a hoax though, while some are printing it.. I'll wait till I hear it from the BBC I guess.

    Saw him a year or so ago. It was pretty obvious then that he was getting quite frail. Still turned in a great gig though. Not quite sure he really needed to use half a dozen different guitars, but I guess when you're one of the most influential artists of the last half century and a truly unique voice you can be forgiven that kind of thing.

    Been listening to him since I discovered the Velvets 35 years ago when I was 18. One of those people who's music changed many people's lives in all kinds of ways.

    Total bummer.  My thoughts are with Laurie.  Left one heck of an imprint on modern rock.

    R.I.P.  Lou
     
    I saw him a couple of years ago when he made a guest appearance during a Peter Gabriel concert at Radio City Music Hall in NY.  He was visibly week and his performance was absolutely horrible (I had a difficult time sitting through it) ...  and I unfortunately realized at that time he was nearing the end.
     
    On a personal note and kind of an unintended tribute, back in July I was in NJ and went out to see my old band play.  I was invited to sit in for a couple of tunes and we ended up doing Lou Reed’s Rock and Roll.
     
    Then I saw the guys again last week while in NJ when we got together for a basement jam.  We ended our evening jam with Lou Reed’s Rock and Roll … such a great tune.
