Lou Reed Dead at 71

I don't know what to say. He was such a hero of mine.

Back in the mid 90s, when I was still married, Val and I went to see him, here in Denver.

after he walked out on stage, Val leaned over and asked me, "Why are they booing him?"

I pointed out to her that the crowd was not booing, they were chanting, "Lou, Lou, Lou..."

The guy was a musical genius and had a huge influence on my songwriting and delivery.

Lou, Lou, Lou, Lou...

Sorry about the word verification. I know you hate it...I hate it, too. But, the Spambots are suddenly coming out of the woodwork, and this is my first line of defense against them.

Anonymous comments are still gladly accepted.

So, all humans are welcome. Spambots can go to Hell.
