Remembering Lou Reed


Can’t believe it’s been six years. I miss Lou Reed. I loved Lou Reed. I loved both the good and bad Lou Reed. I love some of his crappiest albums (Mistrial anyone; The Original Wrapper). 

We used to party with Sweet Mary Jane in the high school parking lot listening to Rock And Roll Animal. I don’t know how many copies of Loaded I’ve worn out. His string of early eighties albums had the most resonance for me. The Blue Mask, Legendary Hearts and New Sensations get played regularly to this day. Saw him live a couple times during this time frame. “Live In Italy” sums it all up for me. Great band, great sound, great setlist.

To Laurie A and the rest of Lou’s circle of family and friends; the love of Lou is carried by many of us and hopefully will be passed along to another generation so the light of Lou will never be extinguished.

I bought the release from this past RSD with Lou Reed & Kris Kristofferson @ The Bottom Line and it surprised me at how good the SQ is. It's a historical record ( pun intended) to boot!
