Christ. The whole "i'm going to one up your post" is really getting old. Not everybody knows everything like you do.

I only know about it because I recently read an article about it so it was fresh in my memory.

You can pipe the fuck down please.

Dear, stop being such an attention hamlet and let's just get back on topic.

One of the finest ladies of rock, Deborah Harry, her longtime sweetheart and bandmate Chris Stein, and their memories of Lou:

[Courtesy of Billboard.com]

Quote:
DEBBIE HARRY:
The first time I saw the Velvet Underground with Lou Reed it was in the 1960s at a place on the Lower East Side called The Balloon Farm. That day I became a lifelong devotee of the iconoclastic sound and style of Lou and the Velvets. I'm so sad that he's gone but his hypnotic voice telling a story of a Perfect Day, or the devil let loose in White Light/White Heat will live forever.
Quote:
CHRIS STEIN: I had many encounters with Lou over the years and he was always charming and polite.
I just never ran into his infamous dark side, so I can’t attest to its actuality.

Lou was one of a handful of originals. I don’t think that the conditions that created him will again even be approximated 
let alone duplicated.

When I was 17 years old in 1967, my friends and I were fascinated by the Velvets’ first amazing album. A close friend of mine worked for Warhol. One night he arrived at my house in Brooklyn and told my friends and I that 
the band who was supposed to open for the Velvets in NYC had cancelled and would we like to replace them.
We got on the subway with our guitars and went to a venue on the upper west side called the Gymnasium.
Maureen Tucker let us use her drums; turn them right side up even and we used the Velvets amps.
We played our little blues rock set and at the end someone came over and said “Oh Andy thought you were terrific.”
There were maybe 30 people there. The Velvets came on and were just powerful. They used the echo-y acoustics 
of the place to their advantage. This was a moment that shaped my musical life and I tell the story frequently.

What else? I was really fond of Metal Machine Music and went through a period of constantly playing it. 
Lou’s music is a perfect mix of light and dark, and will stay with us.
Lou & Debbie -

It better not be this weekend. I'm way too busy but call up my secretary and she'll be able to pencil in a better date that will work out for the both of us.

That's ok. I'll have my people call your people to call my people about a good date to go. I can cancel the hotel, but i'm going to Vegas to get drunk and sing American Pie.
