RIP Lou Reed

Just heard the new that Lou Reed died today. What a man, What a life. Had the wonderful pleasure of meeting Lou last month for the launch of his Transformer book launch. I'm devastated by the news. An icon of our time. Deepest sympathy to his wife Laurie Anderson. :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:
