R.I.P.!

I hope that "Walk on the Wild Side" will still be a classic in 100 years...

This is so sad and shocking. I loved his solo albums. For some reason, I never actually listened to the Velvet Underground until about two months ago, when I suddenly decided to listen to all their back catalog. They really made some tremendously groundbreaking music together.

You are in for a great ride. The first two albums, in particular, change and grow with repeated listening. It's taken me years to process them, and just when I think I fully get what they were doing, some seemingly new trend comes up in popular music that makes me re-orient myself to VU and realize that there was even more to them than I thought.

I hope that's no too over the top, but I'm feeling a lot of gratitude for Lou Reed right now and it's leading me to hyperbole.

WTF? I can't believe it. I thought we had finally defeated mortality. Evidently I was wrong.

Lou Reed is dead!!
