Lou Reed dead at 71.
 
What a day for terrible news.

From RollingStone:

Quote:
Lou Reed, a massively influential songwriter and guitarist who helped shape nearly fifty years of rock music, died today. The cause of his death has not yet been released, but Reed underwent a liver transplant in May.


RIP Lou.

I'm just kind of sobbing. I wasn't really a huge fan of his, but he was a significant part of my youth. It was bound to happen eventually, but it just seemed so unlikely in a way. 71 still seems too early. Sad, sad times.

But if there's something out there, outside of our living world, Nico and Andy are there, too.

Lou reed dead at 71
 
From the Daily Beast:
Quote:
Lou Reed, one of the most influential songwriters and guitarists of the past 50 years, died Sunday, Rolling Stone reported. He was 71. The cause of death is unknown, although he underwent a liver transplant in May. Reed befriended musician John Cale in the mid ‘60s, and later formed the Velvet Underground with Sterling Morrison and Maureen Tucker. They caught the attention of Andy Warhol, who incorporated the Velvets into his Exploding Plastics Inevitable. Reed split with the Velvets in 1972, and went on to release his first solo album, “Transformer,” which gave him a cult-like fanbase. After becoming famous for his excessive drug use and wild sex in the ‘70s, he took a more commercial approach in the '80s. In 2008, he married musician-performing artist Laurie Anderson.

Man, that's bad news! :( I was no fan of his but he was an icon and will certainly be missed. RIP.

Hoax?

It looks like it's not a hoax, after all.
Bummer!

R.I.P. Lou

Very sad news. I was just watching an interview of Lou and Laurie Anderson by Charlie Rose on YouTube last night. You could see the love and respect they had for each other.
