R.I.P. Lou Reed

Thanks for posting that, Notec. I feel the same way. Also dislike passed away or the more dreadful passed.

I was a big Lost In Space fan as a kid and whenever I hear 'rest in peace" I think of that stupid head in a box from the episode "Treasure of the Lost Planet" saying "too bad, too bad, rest in peace , rest in peace" whenever one of the guest characters snuffed it hunting for the "treasure". Any one besides me remember that one?

Listen to Magic and Loss and not come away impressed.

Another of my early rock 'n roll heroes gone. Very sad! Lou and I didn't correspond but I was glad to know that artists like Lou were in the world. My wife and I saw him perform in 1972 at the Santa Monica Civic. About the time of "R&R Animal" and "Transformer". Many were dressed in transgender clothing and makeup (not us, actually). Lots of fun! I really liked his early works, "Sally Can't Dance" and "Berlin". Kind of lost interest after "Dirty Boulevard". He was an original, a legend in many circles. He will be missed!

I'll speak condolences to his wife, the multi-talented Laurie Anderson.
