Really sad. I love the Velvet Underground and his solo stuff. 'Sweet Jane' was one of the first songs my brother taught me to play on an acoustic guitar. Great song, great songwriter. Thanks for the songs Lou.

A 'perfect day' to 'take a walk on the wild side'.

Aeternum vale Lou Reed.

Just got home and now listening to 'Transformer' with a beer. No record collection is complete without it.

You will never be forgotten.

There are lots of musicians who are connected to New York in one way or another. To my mind, nobody is more "New York" than Lou Reed.
