R.I.P. Lou Reed

A great visionary not totally understood....just the way he prefered it.

WOW Just recently saw him at hopscotch fest in Raleigh,NC

"Live 1969" got me through a lot of the seventies.

Played the first and last Velvets albums today in his honor and memory. Will spin a couple of favorite solo records tomorrow -- "New York" and "Magic and Loss," probably. When he was good -- which was often -- he was amazing. When he was maddeningly odd -- which wasn't infrequent -- he was still worth paying attention to.

His fairly recent cd, Perfect Night in London, has amazing sound. Stereotimes agrees.
