Post Lou Reed dead at 71
Lou Reed passed away at age 71. Sometimes an innovator or genius slips by shadowed by headlines about the Kardashian's having a bowel movement. :D

This was a very good story spanning his career, highlights and influences with the Associated Press.

I know Oliver covered Perfect Day and I have a version of Walk on the Wild Side out there.
Bowie, in an BBC rockumentary, admitted that after seeing the Velvet Undergound was influenced for his direction.

Satellite of Love, Heroin, Waiting for the Man, Vicious show the breadth and fearlessness of Lou Reed to tackle the subjects which were being watered down just to get on the Ed Sullivan show!

My high school band did the full 7 minute version of Sweet Jane, including the Steve Hunter Dick Wagner guitar intro. Lotta great music. Please google and check out his superb legacy.

Rock and Roll Animal is one of my Fav live albums
Heroin
White Light White Heat
Sweet Jane
Read the liner notes on that Album
Most of the tunes were from the 60's
( Way ahead of it's time ) Still sounds great
I'll pass of some of his work ( Metallica Lulu )
or His version of Salisbury Hill on the Peter Gabriel And I'll Scratch Yours

Now I know why Laurie Anderson canceled her show here in Austin

So sad for Laurie. What an amazing creative couple they were, both their art will remain.

Time to revisit a great artist.
