Lou Reed passed away.

[PA5COR]

Lou Reed, a massively influential songwriter and guitarist who helped shape nearly fifty years of rock music, died today. The cause of his death has not yet been released, but Reed underwent a liver transplant in May.

He'll be well known to all us older music fans. I especially remember 'Walk on the Wild Side' which was very influential to me when I was a teenager.

Lou Reed R.I.P.

Shit, shit, SHIT! Sigh. I loved his work. Especially after the Velvet Underground.

Nobody did old covers the cool way way he did. I'm gonna miss ya Lou!

Sorry to hear this. I had a chance to watch Lou at a Poetry Slam a few years back in NYC. He still had it.

Anyone who can write, and record a beautiful heart felt song about heroin is number one!

I knew him pretty well years ago. Sad to hear this aweful news.
