Where did you get your information?? Are you sure this is true?? I've seen nothing on Facebook about this.

Oh this is more sad news. I enjoyed Lou Reed's work. Rest in peace Lou and thanks man1

"Hey babe.....take a walk on the wild side"

[splanky]

I liked Walk On The Wild Side and later Sally Can't Dance but I never got into Mr Reed
and didn't care for The Velvet Underground but I can see he made an impression on many,
some who I do like [[Bowie, Bono) so I have to give him his proper respect. RIP Lou Reed...

[timmyfunk]

Gotta agree. Never cared for most of his stuff. Either with the VU or solo. But his influence on the rock underground [[like Zappa and the Dead) cannot be denied.

[soulster]

I have virtually no Lou Reed music, so I checked out The Velvet Underground's music, and I like it.

[timmyfunk]

I've been doing a lot of music exploration at the library. I checked out the VU, Zappa, and the Dead. Thank God I didn't have to pay for it.

[Doug-Morgan]

It's not just Lou. Check out the Steven Hunter/Dick Wagner guitar intros to "Sweet Jane" and "Rock And Roll" off Lou's 2 live LPs.

[timmyfunk]

I went through a lot of his stuff at the library. While I respect him like I respect all musicians, his stuff just doesn't speak to me like that. I offer my condolences nonetheless.

[stephanie]

I only know his popular songs but I have always found him to be an interesting person. RIP you will be singing with the colored girls in heaven now.
