The Village Voice delivers a very nice piece about Lou Reed and his glorification of NYC -- better than the tourist board. Also compares his lyrics to Dylan. Very nice words from a rag that Reed had feuded with.

Lou Reed A tribute to rock'n'roll's original iconoclast—a man who saw beauty in the strange, dark corners of music and humanity—following his death at the age of 71.
Pitchfork. Rolling Stone for the Millennials. Today's tastemaker. Did they have to go with the cover of Coney Island Baby -- not Reed's coolest moment. This is more a "re-consideration" than an obit. Sort of a meta-obit, but worth reading.
