    That is sad. His Rock N Roll Animal is still one of my all time favorites.

    I'm a big Lou Reed fan...I'll miss him. He's on his way to taking a walk on the wild side...

    Oh wow - this is a major departure for not only music but innovation and the avant-garde.

    Rest in Piece Lou Reed! Your genius will live on.

    A few snippets from my personal faves -

    The stars have shut their eyes up tight
    The earth has changed it's course
    A Kingdom sits on a black knight's back
    As he tries to mount a white jeweled horse
    While a clock full of butterflies on the hour
    Releases a thousand moths
    You say " leave" and I'll be gone
    Without any remorse
    No letters faxes phones or tears
    There's a difference between bad and worse
    Right or left
    Up or down
    In or out
    Straight or round
    Love or lust
    Rain or shine
    I can't seem to make up my poor mind
    I can't seem to make up my mind
    I can't tell the difference between wrong and right
    Are you laughing at me in your sleep tonight
    Leaving me behind
    I'm cruising fast on a motorcycle
    Down this winding country road
    And I pass the gravel on the foot of the hill
    Where last week I fell off
    There's still some oil by the old elm tree
    And a dead squirrel that I hit
    But if I hadn't left, I would have struck you dead
    So I took a ride instead
    Bottoming out....
    When your people first moved to our block
    our ancestors met with culture shock
    Two different monkeys from two different trees
    come on let's stop our fightin' and come dance with me
    When you're all alone and lonely in your midnight hour
    And you find that your soul, it has been up for sale
    And you getting to think about, all the things you done
    And you getting to hate just about everything

    But remember the princess who lived on the hill
    Who loved you even though she knew you was wrong
    And right now she just might come shining through
    and the glory of love, glory of love
    Glory of love, just might come through
    What a wordsmith. That guy was pretty talented and unique. I like that. See ya Lou.

    Oh, jeez - I don't want to hear this. He's been such an influence on my generation - probably the one after mine, too.

    RIP Lou.

    Very sad news. I saw Lou in the 80s and although he seemed to forget most of his lyrics, and looked pinned, I was still really grateful to have seen him live ....

    I can't say I was exactly a Lou Reed fan, but his music did feature in the landscape of my life. He was a very creative artist who contributed and still contributes greatly to modern music. RIP Lou Reed
