Very sad to learn from the New York Times that music LEGEND Lou Reed has died at 71, survived by his wife, the equally extraordinary Laurie Anderson.
He
was so fabulous in concert. Just astonishing music: Sweet Jane, I'm Waiting For The Man, Heroin, Walk On The Wild Side...and the whole
Bowie-produced Transformer album (Perfect Day is sublime, too)...he is
and was a genius.
I
remember his double album (in the days of double albums) Metal Machine
Music - four sides of guitar feedback/white noise, reputedly released to
fulfill his contract with RCA Records (they had Bowie and Lou, how I
loved them even if he didn't).
