Narps Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 I had a friend when I was younger that was gaga about Lou Reed. I just didn't get it and he didn't get Rush either. Agree to disagree I guess. RIP Lou "and the African American girls sing do da do da do da do da".............. :guitar: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReRushed Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 I'm devastated. Devastated? Really? Yeah, but not like a loved one passed away kind of way. I've been listening to Lou Reed and the Velvet Underground for more than half of my life. Lou Reed's music means a lot to me. Poor choice of words? Sure, I'll give you that, but I'm pretty bummed out. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatLightInYourEyes Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 Wow, now this is a blow. The Velvet Underground was a BIG part of my troubled hipster phase, as was the album, Berlin. The fact that Lou Reed's music made the depression easier by making me feel less alone in that state of mind means a lot now that I look back on it. Hate to have to say it, but :sigh: R.I.P.

Hatchetaxe&saw Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 Playing Magic & Loss right now. It saw me through the passing of my dad and my brother. Never thought I'd be playing it on the day of its author's passing. RIP. Some loss to even things out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just popped into my head and I found it ironic in some way. :codger: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dread Pirate Robert Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Heard about his death on NPR while driving in my car today. Relayed the news to my brother later, and we drank a toast to Lou, may he RIP. Lou Reed was a true original, always going his own way, not giving a f**k what anybody else thought about it. /salute 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xanadoood Posted October 28, 2013 Author Share Posted October 28, 2013 And of course VH1 classic will dedicate the next week of coverage to Lou Reed.. Just got home.. Yup.. It's started 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
