Kinda slick and soulless there Marlow. Emmylou didn't look too proud of it at the end.
Lou had a good run. I'll miss him nonetheless.

Any fan of Lou's should pick up this book.
Lester was a big fan and really knew how to relay Lou's sound.

I don't know. I liked his "Heroin" when I was 19, but I'm kind of with FortMental. HIs music just began to remind me of a lot of bad times, and acquaintances taking too many opiates and killing themselves. That's not to mention reminding me of risky sexual behavior that seemed coincided with the emergence the AIDS epidemic, although that came later. OK, his music still does get to me in good ways, too.
Hey; I liked EmmyLou and Sheryl's rendition!

To correct myself, Dr. Sprock, after watching a documentary on the Velvet Underground and the Exploding Plastic Inevitable show at the old Fillmore auditorium, I'd hazard to guess that it took place in 1966, not 1967. That was before the release of the Banana album and also when LSD was still legal. Interesting to note that the members of the Velvet Underground found the hippies they encountered in SF to be disgusting. They were glad to get out of town. The VU's orchestrated S&M violence and NY street smarts just didn't go along with that group generational hippy scene. About as compatible as English muffins and Irish stew. Something about a male-female S&M dance duo whipping themselves while Lou banged out "Heroin" just didn't fit into the peace, love, granola scene that was then unfolding in SF. I do remember that the audience didn't really know what to make of it and how to respond to a light show with pictures of people hitting up with syringes.
The shock of the new!

The Dr. is in!
Lou is a cultural icon. You can learn a lot about the City life from his music.

Yeah, I also got turned on to Lou in the early 80's. He really resonated then and now. When you get down to it he is probably underestimated . . . another genius of sorts. He is capable of the full range of human and musical emotion.
Thanks for the "A Night With Lou Reed" video Jim . . . Special. Did you see Warhol in the audience?

Let X equal X:

"I have never seen an expression as full of wonder as Lou's as he died. His hands were doing the water-flowing 21-form of tai chi. His eyes were wide open. I was holding in my arms the person I loved the most in the world, and talking to him as he died. His heart stopped. He wasn't afraid. I had gotten to walk with him to the end of the world. Life – so beautiful, painful and dazzling – does not get better than that. And death? I believe that the purpose of death is the release of love."
