When Vanity Fair magazine asked him to give his definition of abject misery a few years ago, Reed's response was simply: "Being interviewed by an English journalist".

rip lou

the fuck is actually rn

like is every media outlet phoning RS, getting told yeah its true, then waiting an indeterminate length of time before conceding RS aren't making this up

Yes they are all getting on their phones and calling Rolling Stone.

blow me you landill shithead

landfill oy

srsly like really given the number of journalists here can someone explain what the protocol is when a single source is claiming something like this?

Here in the big city we got a word
For those who would bed their beloved big bird
And make a mockery of our freedoms
Without even using a condom
Without even saying " no "
By god we have a name for people like that
It's - hey motherfucker

now it is.....foxnews

xposts I'm sure they're all trying to confirm independently. But I can also imagine that that's hard, especially on a Sunday, and it's not hard to believe that RS happens to have sources on this that others don't have easy access to.

John Cale's last revenge: being the single source for Jon Dolan.

"I get scared in Sweden."

IMDb's headline: "Lou Reed, 'Walk on the Wild Side' Singer, Dead at 71"

I guess, but still, *sigh*

Better than "Beloved Honda scooter pitchman."

Still no story in the New York Times. That will be the nail in the coffin, so to speak, for me.

"Recent Metallica Collaborator"

beloved Metallica collaborator

guardian confirming it now as well. RIP lou

his agent confirmed it to the Graun a couple of minutes ago

xp

Re Blue clip about his Dodgers departure trauma, I always took him for a Mets fan, cuz first time I saw him live (Capitol Theater, Passaic NJ, 1984) the crowd chanted "Looooouuu" and he said "That sounds like you want Mookie Wilson."

So wait, this weekend Arthur C. Danto and Lou Reed, two guys with a strong Warhol connection. Who is the third one who should be running scared?

Iggy?

Yesterday the woman who voiced Mrs. Krabappel died.

aka Carol the Receptionist

Yeah, Guardian cites his agent, though no story yet ...

:(

legit sad abt this regardless of the inevitability

I'm mostly glad I went to see him a few times when I had the chance. Got to hear Laurie playing the Cale part while he sang "Venus in Furs," that counted as a lifetime musical highlight.

and elite match game panelist.

last great american whale

i just loved the way in which he was just so straightforward about stuff (his way of writing a song and his subject matter). no bullshit, i mean people may say he glamorised a certain seediness but that was his life

If you tie a contact mike to a new-born baby and spin it by the umbilical cord, think of the sound.

Lulu-Last great american album

The British rock band The Who took to twitter, "R.I.P. Lou Reed. Walk on the peaceful side."

Each band member wrote a word

OK, now it's on the Times site.

Whether we're talking about music or attitude or leather jackets or lifestyle or whatever, if it weren't for Lou Reed, so many people wouldn't have had stuff to like. RIP, you old grouch.

Was Lulu his last release? That's up there with Transformers The Movie being the last performance of Orson Welles.

I am in the laundromat but when I get back upstairs I'm gonna play waves of fear

fuck

lol matt i also thought of orson welles when i realized lulu was his last release

Was Lulu his last release? That's up there with Transformers The Movie being the last performance of Orson Welles.

actually fuck that "junior dad" is amazing

phaps Chaplin & A Countess From Hong Kong is more like it

The liver takes it all

Sober since the 1880s and a practitioner of Tai Chi, Mr. Reed had a liver transplant in May 2013 in Cleveland.

Was his last official released anything his Peter Gabriel cover?

I used to see him and Laurie eating sushi all the time in midtown in the mid-90s at our favorite spot, but I never said anything because, you know, that's Lou Reed. He's got more attitude than anyone in Jersey.

"I'll be the wind, the rain and the sunset
The light on your door to show that you're home."

RIP good sir

ugh, just found out

RIP lou reed

now it's all up to max

Only just starting to shake off a bastard of a hangover, I'm supposed to be going to a party now and all I really wanna do is drink wine and bump drella velvets mmm even transformer for the 1st time in about a decade; at least I know what my comedown music will be tomorrow.

Enjoying the idea that the big storm rattling the UK tonight is Lou's wrathful spirit
