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.
'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
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.
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.
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
He just had a liver transplant a few months ago too I think. RIP
ReplyDeleteRIP Lou after football ends I'll go out and take a walk on the wildside in your honor :(
ReplyDeleteThis makes my heart ache. I am a big fan. R.I.P. Lou.
ReplyDeleteRIP, bro.
ReplyDeleteThat truly sucks. RIP.
ReplyDeleteHis was the first rock album I remember my dad playing for me & I've loved him since. Sad.
ReplyDeleteMay your Perfect Day go on forever, Lou. RIP.
ReplyDeleteR.I.P. : (
ReplyDeleteVery sad. Much too young. A great musician. RIP.
ReplyDeleteWhat awful news! I got to see him in concert a few times, and he was always incredible. Very sad about this.
ReplyDeleteI would see him and Laurie walking in The Village ...he has looked so ill for a long time...RIP
ReplyDeleteAnd the colored girls go "Doo do doo do doo do do doo
ReplyDeleteWhat a loss. Why can't it be someone less worthy?

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.
Delete@Zen I was just going to post that first line exactly! LOL
ReplyDeleteRIP, Lou Reed.
'Cause when the smack begins to flow
ReplyDeleteThen 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

Terrible, terrible news! Godspeed, dear man.
ReplyDeleteWhat an interesting life Mr. Reed lived! Rest in peace, good sir.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe I agree with Kermit. I also feel Perfect Day is one of Lou's best.
ReplyDeleteRIP Mr. Reed.
Rip, anad thanks for the music.
ReplyDeleteYou need a busload of faith to get by.
ReplyDelete"And I swear I'd give it all up for you Rachel..." RIP Lou
ReplyDeleteLou Reed was such a musical influence. The world lost an incredible talent, and a genuinely nice guy.
ReplyDeleteIm huge Velvet Underground/Lou Reed fan, so sad. :'( he lived such an extraordinary life. And so ahead of his time. RIP Lou.
ReplyDeletewaiting for the man
ReplyDeleteheroin
walk on the wild side
I'm waiting for my man
ReplyDeleteGot 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
too many amazing songs to post here.. a great loss for music
ReplyDeleteHeaven's rocking it out tonight. RIP Mr. Reed.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteLast time I was this devo'd was when Lux Interior died. Now I know what my next tattoo is going to be.
