Really sad news. I saw this on Facebook earlier this evening and everyone was saying it was a hoax.
I guess not.

Woke up this morning with Lou's song "Makeup" in my head for unknown reason. I was singing it as I got ready for work and while riding my motorbike to work. I get into work and my wife phones to tell me Lou Reed has died.
Spooky.
Rip Lou.
Loved you forever.

Sad to hear about this today. RIP Lou Reed.
I actually saw this on another website. Sad news. I was going to post it in non prog but now I don't have to. Anyway, VU were a very important band and very experimental for their time period apparently. Edited by Prog_Traveller - October 27 2013 at 18:22 |

He's been really sick for some time--he and his wife used to go to my gym--used to see them all the time and he didn't look in great shape then---Laurie Anderson held up better with age--they also had the same breed of dog as I had and our dogs met--their's wasn't too friendly with mine howeverbut since his liver transplant early this year---things have been mostly down hill---RIP Lou.

Real sad news,
It was only the other day I was thinking if Lou was planning to release any new material soon. Sadly Not. RIP New York City Man. |

So sad... just in the past day or two I've been experiencing some of his lyrics in a very personal way. The verse from pale blue eyes:
If I could make the world as pure and strange as what I see, I'd put you in the mirror I put in front of me. Rest in peace
