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:

[SuchFriendsAreDangerous]

To our neighbors:
What a beautiful fall! Everything shimmering and golden and all that incredible soft light. Water surrounding us.
Lou and I have spent a lot of time here in the past few years, and even though we’re city people this is our spiritual home.
Last week I promised Lou to get him out of the hospital and come home to Springs. And we made it!
Lou was a tai chi master and spent his last days here being happy and dazzled by the beauty and power and softness of nature. He died on Sunday morning looking at the trees and doing the famous 21 form of tai chi with just his musician hands moving through the air.
Lou was a prince and a fighter and I know his songs of the pain and beauty in the world will fill many people with the incredible joy he felt for life. Long live the beauty that comes down and through and onto all of us.
— Laurie Anderson
his loving wife and eternal friend

then one fine morning she put on a New York station and she couldn't believe what she heard at all.. she stared dancing to that fine fine music her life was saved by rock and roll..

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.

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

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?"

LOU REED
Manchester. 'Rock N Roll' Animal tour 1974

wow that was good
