Lou Reed was a pioneer for countless bands who didn't worry about their next hit single.
Reed, who died Sunday at age 71, radically challenged rock's founding promise of good times and public celebration. As leader of the Velvet Underground and as a solo artist, he was the father of indie rock, and an ancestor of punk, New Wave and the alternative rock movements of the 1970s, '80s and beyond.

Seems you and I are the only ones who Remember Lou, to bad because he was definitely an icon of the early 70's music scene.
Anyway, Rest In Peace Lou and now you can take that well deserved "walk on the wild side"
