JCC Lou Reed is DEADDDDDDDDDD

Boo

 

just saw this a second go. goodbye to an icon. RIP

 

That sucks. RIP

 

Horrible news.

 

damn.

 

I need to listen to them now.

 

I recommend his collaboration with Metallica, "Lulu".

 

I don't.

 

Just learned thus a second ago on FB.

That's a big one.

 

What would be something that you would recommend to someone who has probably not heard their music before?

 

Awful, awful news.

As regards The Velvet Underground, any of their real albums (IE not Squeeze) is worth a listen, although The Velvet Underground & Nico is their most famous.

Lou Reed's solo career, I suggest starting with Transformer.

 

and



Solo

 

So I guess you could say he's now taking a walk on the wild side?

 

Thanks for the videos guys!

 

Danthe, a pun needs to be relevant to the topic and the situation to work. Since being dead involves extraordinary amounts of doing absolutely nothing, it's hardly "wild" by any stretch.

You could have gone with "taking a walk on the dead side", but that's in poor taste. Hell's the matter with you man?

 

the wild side= the afterlife

 

Remembrance of LR is coming up in a couple of minutes on NPR's Weekend Addition

 

Pump up The Blue Mask.

 

Come on. You could have at least said satellite's gone up to the sky.

 

Neither. He's transformed to a higher echelon of existence, just as he did when he recorded music.

 

David Bowie kills me at the end of that song... every single time.

 

I guess Lou's having somewhat less than a perfect day.
