Lou Reed recovering after liver transplant
Lou Reed, the US songwriter, poet and vocalist with the Velvet Underground, had a liver transplant last month, according to his wife, the musician and performance artist Laurie Anderson."It's as serious as it gets. He was dying. You don't get it for fun," said Anderson, who added that her husband was now on the road to recovery following the life-saving surgery.Reed, 71, cancelled a number of concerts in April and had surgery in Cleveland rather than in his native New York due to what Anderson described as the "dysfunctional" hospitals in his home town. She said in an interview with the Times: "I don't think he'll ever totally recover from this, but he'll certainly be back to doing things in a few months. He's already working and doing t'ai chi. I'm very happy. It's a new life for him."

Lou says: "I am a triumph of modern medicine, physics and chemistry. I am bigger and stronger than stronger than ever. My Chen Taiji and health regimen has served me well all of these years, thanks to Master Ren Guang-yi. I look forward to being on stage performing, and writing more songs to connect with your hearts and spirits and the universe well into the future."lol! never stop, lou!

lou must've packed a lot of drinking into the 60s-70s - he's been sober for 30+ years, I think!

My first thought at seeing that Lou Reed photo with Ronnie was, "Damn, Elvis Costello looks like hell!" Then I realized it was Lou and thought he looked good considering his rough year.
