Sad.

I was always a Lou Reed fan (although he didn't always turn up for his concerts ).

I can't believe he made 71. Velvet Underground was my favorite era for Mr Reed. RIP

An amazing artist. With all that comes with that...

"I wish that I was born a thousand years ago
I wish that I'd sail the darkened seas
On a great big clipper ship
Going from this land here to that
In a sailor's suit and cap
Away from the big city
Where a man can not be free
Of all of the evils of this town
And of himself, and those around
Oh, and I guess that I just don't know
Oh, and I guess that I just don't know"

Same here. Walk on the Wild Side is on my top 5 most hated songs list.

Still, RIP.

He was a huge influence and changed the music world (and mine as a musician) for the better.

Saw him a few years ago at a small 1300 seat auditorium. I gained a new respect for him when he refused to play "Walk on the Wild Side" after a few audience members called out for it. His catalog is so extensive, diverse and groundbreaking; it's a shame that most people only know him for his one (or two) radio hits.

Gonna put on my old vinyl copy of "The Velvet Underground and Nico" in his honor.

RIP, Lou.
