Few people impacted the New York music scene than Lou Reed did. His formation of the Velvet Underground with John Cale led to "Sweet Jane"and his many hit songs as a solo artist will be remembered a long time "A Walk on the Wild Side". He married performer Laurie Anderson in 2008. There will no doubt be talk about the recent liver transplant he received. Lou Reed passes on at the age of 71. Read the USA Today version here.
Staff would like to offer you his iconic live version of "Sweet Jane" from his album Rock and Roll Animal...
"Some people, they like to go out dancing
And other peoples, they have to work, Just watch me now!
And there's even some evil mothers
Well they're gonna tell you that everything is just dirt
Y'know that, women, never really faint
And that villains always blink their eyes, woo!
And that, y'know, children are the only ones who blush!
And that, life is just to die!
And, everyone who ever had a heart
They wouldn't turn around and break it
And anyone who ever played a part
Oh wouldn't turn around and hate it!"
