Lou Reed Dead at 71

I don't know what to say. He was such a hero of mine.

Back in the mid 90s, when I was still married, Val and I went to see him, here in Denver.

I pointed out to her that the crowd was not booing, they were chanting, "Lou, Lou, Lou..."

The guy was a musical genius and had a huge influence on my songwriting and delivery.

Lou, Lou, Lou, Lou...
