Lewis Allan Reed, March 2, 1942 - October 27, 2013

For me it's Lou Reed. More than the Beatles, Dylan, Zeppelin, The Who, Neil Young, or the Stones, it's Lou who has stood the tallest of the rockers from the classic era. It's Lou who wrote my favorite songs, who had the coolest way of singing, and who played guitar in a way that spoke to me.
His passing acted like a final exclamation point to a sprawling life. It's nice to hear what other people thought of the man and the artist. There are lots of opinions and remembrances out there -- here are some of the interesting ones. Let me know what you think. -- Jonathan

Lou Reed obituary

There's a tradition of cheeky obits from British newspapers, but this one from the Guardian in the UK is very respectful and detailed. Some very interesting facts. http://www.theguardian.com/music/2013/oct/28/lou-reed
