Suffice to say that Lou Reed was an avatar, an icon and a man far ahead of his peer group, if not of his time; I'd say he was very much OF his time. And that's not a bad thing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35422342.post-26174051863285342162013-11-04T23:32:45.474-05:002013-11-04T23:32:45.474-05:00Thank you, Vincent.Thank you, Vincent.MDnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35422342.post-59518823459412665752013-11-04T23:31:43.280-05:002013-11-04T23:31:43.280-05:00It's supernatural, how that stuff never gets o...It's supernatural, how that stuff never gets old.<br />MDnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35422342.post-55315665568438536942013-11-04T22:45:37.842-05:002013-11-04T22:45:37.842-05:00Great piece, Mike.
