Reed had a profound impact on American culture, introducing avant garde rock and pop art to mainstream music. His work with Andy Warhol is noted as one of the most important collaborations in contemporary culture.

Sad, sad day. Thank you Lou. It would have been a lesser world without you.

Truly sad.

Many people may not know this... that he and Iggy Pop did alot of music for those 1970s - early 1980s porn movies. Of course, they went uncredited.

R.I.P. Lou. :angels:

I was never really a fan, but there should be no doubt, that not only does he deserve his due, he earned it. The music world would have been a lesser place without his contributions. My he rest in peace, and his music never be forgotten.

His music will last forever...

The song "Perfect day" was my first introduction to Lou Reed. I will go and listen to it now. So sad.

 

[Ari Dee]

I don't know what kind of lifestyle he led, but I'm kind of impressed that he made it to 71.

Well for fucks sake, look at Kieth Richards! If he's not proof that heroin is a preservative, I don't know what is !?!?!

Can you even imagine the lineup of medical examiners when that guy kicks? All of medical science is wondering what the fuck is up with that guy.

Some dumb asses in my high school thought "Take a walk on the wild side" would be a pretty good theme song for their Sr year.

Aside from that I kinda liked him.

There's one thing that Keith Richards absolutely refuses to ever put into his body, to the point that he's damn near phobic about it:





Cheese (The food - I have to clarify that here ), and it's any kind, not just the processed cheese "food".

Maybe he knows something the rest of us mere mortals don't.

RIP He was awesome.

****, I didn't get the edit in time:

RIP to Lou Reed, easily one of the coolest motherfuckers ever.

Somehow seems appropriate that he died on a Sunday morning.

Rest in peace, Lou! :hatsoff:

Rock & Roll courses through his veins (even more so than the heroin) and that keeps him alive. Keef is da man!

Sad to hear that Lou is dead. Right there with Warren Zevon (also dead now), Lou represented a brand of intelligence, feeling and "thinking rock" that no longer exists.
