RIP Lou Reed

[Andrew Longman]

Wow. His live album from NYC was a big part of my soundtrack in the late 70s and early 80s. He had many desciples and imitators but none as authentic as he.

"Viscious" was so good I named a badass Alpha hampster who thought he could boss me around after it. Believe it or not that actually made sense and was a proper tribute -- or so it seemed at the time. :)

Good read.

RIP. One of the great legends. I wore out two Rock n Roll Animal LPs. If you ever get a chance, catch his 2008 show on Paladia where he plays the music from the Berlin album, which was a critical and commercial disaster, but is now better appreciated. He is rejoined by Stevie Hunter on the Gibson SG in that show.
