How sad, how young! Sadly those artists that were such a part of our youth and influences are leaving us for a better world (I hope). Thank you Lou!
I used to see Lou in downtown NY all the time. You would just say "Hey Lou" and he would nod. A friend of mine played in his band in the mid 90s.
The Velvet Underground and stuff like Transformer are impossible to measure as far as their influence.
I can't tell you how many Velvet and Reed sound alike bands were playing bars in New York every night.
i used to see him and laurie in a chinese restaurant we used to go to in chelsea all the time. The spouse and i both had a hard time trying to play it cool.
I was on jury duty a few weeks ago: The alleged crime was selling heroin - at lexington and 125! It was all i could do not to break out into "waiting for my man" during proceedings. Repeatedly.
He will be missed.
