RIP Lou Reed

[joanne_c]

One of the most influential musicians of all time, one of the most interesting personalities I've ever come across, one of my most long term writing/RPing muses. His music has influenced me in ways I'm not sure I am fully aware of

I don't know if you've seen the obituary written by his wife in their local newspaper - http://nedraggett.tumblr.com/post/65635126158/for-lou-reed-october-31-2013-2-15pm-to-our

That's just beautiful, thank you for the link. I admit, a few more tears came out.

I'm searching high and low for some Lou to do at the Mint. Walk on the Wild Side is just too over-done, and Sweet Jane---unless you've got Lou to play guitar why bother. We've got SOME Velvets at the Mint, but I'd love to find something like Satellite of Love or even Martial Law on a CDG.

It really is way, way too overdone. It feels like that was the only song they bothered to play on the radio. I get why, but still, even Perfect Day would've been a change. Sweet Jane is also great but I agree on the guitar part. That would be great. Hopefully something will turn up :)

I'm going to download a CDG of Satellite of Love.
