RIP Lou Reed

[Road Guy]

He and I probably had vastly different political beliefs but I enjoyed his music..

Jackie is just speeding away
Thought she was James Dean for a day
Then I guess she had to crash
Valium would have helped that bash
Said, Hey babe,
Take a walk on the wild side
I said, Hey honey,
Take a walk on the wild side
And the colored girls say,
doo do doo do doo do do doo

Lou was one of the greats. I had the pleasure of seeing him perform a couple of times.

He was an angry man.

Give me your hungry, your tired your poor I'll piss on 'em
that's what the Statue of Bigotry says
Your poor huddled masses, let's club 'em to death
and get it over with and just dump 'em on the boulevard

Dirty Boulevard

I have that cassette and the CD awesome album!

 

[MA_PE]

absolutely.

Do you have Rock and Roll Animal? The live intro to Sweet Jane is awesome

 

[RIP - VTEnviro]

He was just a a bit before my time.

 

[Capt Worley PE]

The live intro to Sweet Jane is awesome

The Cowboy Junkies did an awesome cover to that one.

Never was much of a Lou Reed fan, which is odd because I liked other artists from that genre/era.
