Lou Reed Dead
|
Hearing the Velvet Underground marked a decisive break in my listening habits and the sorts of bands I began checking out as a result. As I look at my music collection, I'm struck by how much really good music I might never have heard (that might never have been made) if it weren't for Lou Reed.
RIP, Uncle Lou.

"The greatest deception men suffer is from their own opinions" - Leonardo da Vinci
"I think I use the term “radical” rather loosely, just for emphasis. If you describe yourself as “atheist,” some people will say, “Don’t you mean ‘agnostic’?” I have to reply that I really do mean atheist, I really do not believe that there is a god; in fact, I am convinced that there is not a god (a subtle difference). I see not a shred of evidence to suggest that there is one ... etc., etc. It’s easier to say that I am a radical atheist, just to signal that I really mean it, have thought about it a great deal, and that it’s an opinion I hold seriously." - Douglas Adams (and I echo the sentiment) |
