This Halloween is something, to be sure
Especially to be here without you

What music documentary doesn't?!

Maybe I have a sick sense of humour, but I can´t help it that I laughed a lot when I saw this here.

Thanks.

In looking this up to record, I saw that a performance of BERLIN is also scheduled.

Actually, I agree completely, I dare say Lou Reed would have also found that shit hilarious, rest his soul. The key thing about death, is not just to be all mopy and sad, but to be how the people who passed would want it. When my grandfather passed, he didn't let us have a "wake" or even a conventional funeral. It wasn't his style at all, never in his life would he have wanted us to mope over him. He wanted us to have a fucking kick ass party to celebrate his life, and our lives with him, and that is what we did, according to his last wishes. I think Lou Reed is the same, he'd rather we found opportunities to laugh rather than cry about his life. I for one, took that opportunity, and was all the better for it, and I think Lou Reed's memory was too. ;)

Lou Reed's Obituary, Placed By Laurie Anderson In Their Local Paper:

Thanks Lou, you helped saved our lives a bit every day too!! We'll miss you, but the Saints need some more embittered company to make it interesting ;)

I work at the local paper in my town. Today we received a fax right after lunch. I walked over, took the paper and what I saw baffled me. It was a news release from the good ol' boys at Westboro Baptist Church. The headline was, "LOU REED IS IN HELL!" Beside the headline was a picture of a sign that read, "GOD HATES FAG ENABLERS." I chuckled at it, but it still agitated me slightly. I think I may have been more disturbed that my boss was not familiar with Lou Reed.

As you should have been, though if anything, I think Lou would have liked that best ;)

No these assholes exist even in LA, they used to come by my campus at university with a bunch of "God hates this" and "God hates that" signs.. Sighs.

Westboro Baptist Church it's more in hell than lou...i think mr Devil appreciate more the followers of westboro than the soul of Mr Reed.

WBC is merely a family of attention whores. Very amusing attention whores.

So they're really the Kardashians?

Of course not. They're clearly the Peacock family from season four of the Xfiles... With a little more publicity.

that's a real true ! (my cell phone ring tone i'ts sister ray)

You have a seventeen minute ring tone?

lol sure...if someone want to talk with me must wait those lovey 17 min...no i'm joking, i really love that song, even the first progression of the three chords sounds nice for a ringtone :cool:

Who doesn't?

Lou Reed died 27 October, 2013. Here Mark E Smith eulogises – on being a criminally devout Velvet Underground fan. Not a 'Velvets' or 'Lou Reed' fan.

At 14 when some bikers in town told me
I could score at this horrible gig in Sth. M/CR,
Lou Reed was a constant in my life.
The support group was 'Lou Reed & The Tots'.

By 73 I was a criminally devout Velvet Underground fan.
Not a 'Velvets' or 'Lou Reed' fan.
Or Johnny cum latelys.

About 87 when my mother was moving out,
I stood in the front room and looked at the stereogram
I'd listen to "Sister Ray" on full blast, 14 years back.
I opened the curtain and Nico walked past the house.

On the 'Gorillaz' tour,
Lou Reed must've been the only person I didn't talk to.
I bowed and he nodded.

The Velvet Underground group live and on vinyl of 1969–70
excels over 'pop & rock' of yesterday, tomorrow,
this, last and next week.

The Remainderer.

"WHEN ARE YOU GONNA LEAVE,
YOU FUCKIN TRAMPS?"
