Lou Reed dead at 71

Re: Did Lewis Allan Reed change your life?

Wiki says he was the son Toby Futterman and Sidney Joseph Reed, an accountant. His family was Jewish.

He caused a minor scandal in my city a couple of years ago. Some idiot in government spent thousands of taxpayers' dollars to hire him to perform in an "arts festival".

He arrived in a wheelchair looking comatose. His wife (Laurie Anderson?) had to do his press interviews for him because he couldn't manage more than a one word response.

Perfect Day.
 
Re: Did Lewis Allan Reed change your life?

Nope... he didn't change my life ... but I've always quite liked 'Satellite of Love' ... although that was decades ago.
 
Re: Did Lewis Allan Reed change your life?

Discovering Reed's Walk on the Wild Side and his matter-of-fact references to the male sex trade in 70's NYC encouraged me to hustle. I was born to be a rent-boy, so I can't absolutely say Reed changed my life, but the song provided a soundtrack to the fantasies.
 
Loved my Lou. He helped change the cultural landscape.
 
Re: Did Lewis Allan Reed change your life?

nope............... never heard of him.
 
Probably. I was exposed to him at an impressionable age and took to him. I'd often sneak the Velvet Unground albums out of my sister's room for a listen when she wasn't at home.

I could never get into his music although he apparently influenced many artists I do like.

He took some of my tax-money (see post #2).

He wasn't gay, was he? He just flirted a lot just like david Bowie.

Given the number of taxpayers in your city...if your life was changed by paying a few pennies to have one of the iconic artists of the 1980's, Laurie Anderson, say a few words on behalf of her husband...an iconic figure from the 70's....it must take very little to upset your delicate existential balance.

I have no icons. I think for myself.

I suppose that Bob Zimmerman Dylan is the next icon to go.

Icon (n - def 2): a person or thing regarded as a representative symbol of something.

I can comfortably state that Hank Williams is an American music country icon, and I can just as comfortably state that I don't in any way deify him.

Never really listened to him. Remember hearing him in that Metallica song which was pretty awful.
 
Loved listening to him in the band The Velvet Underground.

He had a style and sound that appealed to me.
