Still they were made really close together.

Rest in peace, Mr. Reed

[Chronomental]

Okay this is a major downer for me, always respected the man for sticking it to the big guns of the music industry and doing his own thing despite what others said for him to do. Rest in peace, you beautiful bastard.

[Dr-Worm]

Aw man, this is so sad.

My image speaks for its self.

[Ganon-Dorf]

My friend had this to say

"What does one say when Lou Reed dies? I saw others say 'oh no'. I said 'oh yeah'. I wanna celebrate. Not his death, but his life. And what a wonderful life. Yeah, life is just to die. Lou Reed, the thought provoking feedback luping poet, artist extraordinaire and Übermensch is dead. But I won't mourn this heroic beautiful human being. I'm celebrating him.

As a child listening to his music made a lasting impact on me and helped shaped my worldview. It really was an eye opener to reality, well beyond the cookie cut image driven into children. His art was thought provoking. I injected his art into my bloodstream. In my world as a young child and even as an adolescent such subjects weren't there otherwise. I just wanna party thinking of him. He once wrote "My week beats your year." It sure as does for the boring cowardly lives of most. Lines like “What am I? Honey, I’m a cocksucker” (Via the brilliant Please Kill Me) inspired me. His witty wreckless assholism was the hero's path to me. It inspired me that someone would speak as he did. For someone to speak so freely and sincerely, in a way that bit into reality in such an unashamed manner. Lou Reed was a giant.

I posted this with an image from an old Creem of Lou Reed 'Wanted Dead or Alive' which plays at him being a counter culture icon. I used to have that on my wall. Listening to him was much of what inspired my thinking on equality, language, and facing people in everyday life.

Lou Reed didn't knock on the door of life. He smashed it open and walked on the wild side. Yeah, when I think of the hero with a thousand faces, I think of Lou Reed. "

[Insanctuary]

That moment where Lou Reed means nothing if he hadn't did anything inclusive.

Woo... The hypocrisies of mourning.

[Sense-Offender]

^ You mean to those who never met him and got to know him personally and would otherwise not know he existed if it weren't for the music he released that they grew to love? No shit. So deep, man.

[PotHeadParadise]

gov must have killed him for not paying them enough

[Sekhem]

[Cyberdevil]

A legend has passed. RIP.

Thats literally the only good thing that has come out of this.
Though this also means that there is literally no chance that The Velvet Underground will ever be a thing ever again now.
