Plug into your noisiest stompbox and let her rip in tribute.

Only 71... sucks. I will listen to Velvet Underground today while cleaning the house. He will be missed.

I'm the least qualified person to comment on Lou Reed's music, but I did meet him three times over the course of my career. He never remembered me, which was fine, because he was Lou Reed and I was some kid. All three times, he was wearing leather pants.

Lou enjoyed playing the character that everybody expected him to be -- as one of my mentors put it, "the gruff-but-lovable Frankenstein" -- but I got to see the way he was with his dog. He was a sweet man. He did more for rock music than most of us ever will.

Satellite's gone up to the skies
Things like that drive me out of my mind
I watched it for a little while
I like to watch things on TV

Satellite of love
Satellite of love
Satellite of love
Sa-te-llite of
