That truly sucks. RIP.

His was the first rock album I remember my dad playing for me & I've loved him since. Sad.

The BLS said...

May your Perfect Day go on forever, Lou. RIP.

Very sad. Much too young. A great musician. RIP.

Reese said...

What awful news! I got to see him in concert a few times, and he was always incredible. Very sad about this.

MISCH said...

And the colored girls go "Doo do doo do doo do do doo

What a loss. Why can't it be someone less worthy?

I have the same thoughts about him that I have with Chris Brown on steroids: I kinda liked his music (perfect day is the best in my opinion, but I think he was a great musician) and disliked the person.

Anyway, he has lived about twenty more years longer than a junkie like him has in expectance.
RIP.

@Zen I was just going to post that first line exactly! LOL

RIP, Lou Reed.

'Cause when the smack begins to flow
Then I really don't care anymore
Ah, when the heroin is in my blood
And that blood is in my head
And thank God that I'm as good as dead
And thank your God that I'm not aware
And thank God that I just don't care
And I guess I just don't know
And I guess I just don't know

Sherry said...

Babo: Lovely and perfect. Waiting for Rach to chime in. Seems like she'd be a fan as well. Never was a huge consumer of his music but sad to see another talented yet tortured but musical soul depart.

Little Miss Smoke and Mirrors said...

Terrible, terrible news! Godspeed, dear man.

kelli grrrl said...

What an interesting life Mr. Reed lived! Rest in peace, good sir.

amused bush said...

I can't believe I agree with Kermit. I also feel Perfect Day is one of Lou's best.

RIP Mr. Reed.

You need a busload of faith to get by.

"And I swear I'd give it all up for you Rachel..." RIP Lou

Lou Reed was such a musical influence. The world lost an incredible talent, and a genuinely nice guy.

waiting for the man
heroin
walk on the wild side

__-__=__ said...

I'm waiting for my man
Got 26 dollars in my hand
Up to Lexington 125
Feelin' sick and dirty
I'm waiting for my man
----------------
I'm gonna watch the blue birds fly over my shoulder
I'm gonna watch them pass me by
Maybe when I'm older
What do you think I'd see
If I could walk away from me
---------------------
Some things come to he who waits
but all is lost if you hesitate
And I was never one to wait
you'll know you were loved
---------------------------
Good morning, it's possum day
Feel like a possum in every way
Like a possum

Possum whiskers, possum face
Possum breath and a possum taste
Like a possum

Possum tales, possum eyes
Possum bones, possum thighs
Like a possum

Possum shots, possum runs
Possum sleeps to possum drums
Calm as an angel

RIP

I has a sad. Lou Reed has always been one of my favorite musicians. I love him and Velvet Underground so much. Rest in Peace, brother.

Kermit : that's such a cunt of a thing to say. Not to mention ignorant, poorly worded and ill informed. You're talking out your arse mate.

Sherry: I love Lou. He was brilliant, misunderstood and his journey to find himself was done through his music. And we all benefited from his genius. I'm genuinely upset.
If it weren't Ocsober, I'd have a drink in his honour.

Last time I was this devo'd was when Lux Interior died. Now I know what my next tattoo is going to be.
