Sad to see him go, but glad he was here.
In 1970 there was probably not a person alive who thought Lou would live to age 70.

One of my favorite opening intros evar to Sweet Jane!!!! RIP Lou. Time doesn't wait for anyone and your time amongst us will be remembered. Originally Posted by BigDaddy

RIP indeed. Although I couldn't really get into his project with Metallica, The Velvet Underground stands the test of time. Quite a long life for a guy with an H "affection" too.

I think Neil Young did the tone deaf "spoken word" thing better.
Edit, and Velvet Underground is solid tunes.

Damn. Just got back from a longish ride, so hadn't yet heard.
One of my earliest childhood music memories is my parents cranking Transformer.

Oh man, that blows. Huge fan. I'd heard he'd been sick but that he was doing better. Apparently not.

I was surprised that he married Laurie Anderson, and maybe even more, that she married him.

Not the most handsome couple but it seems they made it work. Good for them and much respect for both of their work.

Certain songs can take you back to a place and time. Strange how that happens. Take a Walk on the Wild Side is one if the most memorable songs of my life in this sense. A song that will take me back to a very specific place and time like no other song has or ever will.

I never understood. Perhaps because he was before my time. Was it what he stood for (a la Dylan), cause it sure wasn't his voice.

This is something you'll be hearing for a day or two:
""Produced" by Warhol and met with total commercial indifference when it was released in early 1967, VU’s debut The Velvet Underground & Nico stands as a landmark on par with the Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band and Bob Dylan's Blonde On Blonde."
or......
"Glam, punk and alternative rock are all unthinkable without his revelatory example."
Um, hey, they were OK, but, really? Rock critics, sheesh. As Zappa said, they're the ones sitting in the front row with bad skin taking notes. Or, as Lou Reed said himself, I spend a year slaving over an album and I get a B minus form some asshole at the Village Voice.

Lou Reed/VU mattered to so many because while Dylan is doing his beatnik thing and the Beatles are cranking out "A Hard Day's Night" he wrote this in 19-fucking-64:
It wouldn't get released on an album until VU & Nico came out in 1967, but NOBODY was writing and performing shit like that before them. Iggy Pop, the NY Dolls, pretty much anything you could call Punk/Alternative owes a huge debt of gratitude to Lou Reed.
