at least he knows now if it’s Velvet, underground.

We lost Lou Reed the other day, hard to believe he was 71. Hard to believe Joe Cocker outlived him, Jimi Hendrix, and Jerry Garcia.

I loved two songs most, “Sweet Jane” and “Busload of Faith”. he did a lot of other worthy stuff, and of course being a hipster (Perhaps The Alpha Hipster) his politics were merely ignorant, but I liked his voice.

it is said only 60,000 of his first album were ever sold, but that each buyer started a band of his own. This may be true, but I suspect most of those bands were the Shaggs. Hope you had a busload of faith, Lou.
