Lou Reed RIP

It's very rare in life to know someone who affects things; changes them in a positive way. I've been lucky enough to have known some in my life: Andy Warhol, Doc Pomus. People whose vision and integrity was such that it moved the world a bit. People who, through the articulation of their talents and intelligence, were able to leave things better than they had found them. People who were not only not in it for the money, to paraphrase Lou Reed. Lou Reed was such a person and of the many regrets I have in life, not knowing him a lot better is one of them.

Whether writing symphonies, satirical broadsides or casting a caustic glow across the frontier of madness that makes up the American political landscape; whether testifying before Congress to put the PMRC in its rightful lowly place, or acting as a cultural conduit for President Vaclav Havel and the Czech government, Lou was a force for reason and honesty in the business deficient in those areas. As we reward some with money for the amusement they supply to the cultural masses, I think the induction of Lou Reed in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame distinguishes the Hall as well as the inductee. (applause)

Musicians usually cannot speak. That's why they communicate through their instruments. But Lou was one who could. And because music is pure, the musician is pure as well and when Lou spoke he demonstrated the power of purity. Who will do that now? I admired Lou greatly and I know he admired me. It gives me great pleasure to give this award to his daughter, Edie Brickell.

We called the Miami Herald says it's all rumors and they've got nothing on the cops mobilising. US State Department also says its just rumors, in a nice bit of non-denying denial

GREG FITZSIMMONS WAS JUST TALKING ABOUT SEEING LOU REED'S DICK N BALLS AT THE GYM ON THE RADIO

holy shit

Durnit! I had him in my Dead Pool (and got excited and sad at the same time).
Your Dead Pool to his Lou was such a perfect wit.

Our thread is very beautiful tonight.

Edward III, that is total awesomeness.

what the fucking hell...

what do you do when you don't have a pipe or papers? make bong from drinking container?

that was totally on the wrong thread yo

yeah, lou's all about heroin, duh

Nah, I think Maria's got her heart in the right place. I was going to say that a drinking container is the correct answer to the question posed.

r.i.p. guitar strings ;_;

this movement never got enough support

RIP big man

lol, my first response: "THERE IS NO FUCKING WAY LOU REED DIED WITHOUT MY EVER HEARING!!!!!!!"

Then I remembered that I had heard he just got married like two weeks ago or something.

He could still have died!

You're right! Didn't I read a tabloid or an issue of Bizarre once about someone marrying a dead woman?

That must be it.

yesterday i went to a see an important buddhist teacher whos never been to america before - before he came out to teach lou reed popped up on stage unannounced and played three songs o_O :)

Lou will die just after all the cockroaches, but before Keith Richards.

I spoke to him on the phone a couple of days ago; he was as cantankerous as I'd been led to expect.

well, calling someone in the middle of the night to sell time shares will do that

ZING

ha ha!

I want to know, though, what Lou said.
