Friends and I had front row seats at a Lou Reed concert back in the day. It was in Providence, RI at the old Strand Theatre. The opening act was none other than Bruce Springstein, sans E Street Band,
sitting on a stool with an acoustic guitar and 2 mics! Fabulous!

I was never a real fan, but it's certainly easy to see the influence he had on generations of musicians. His death is a real loss for American music.

So is he in Heaven or taking a walk on the wild side?

Wow, sad news.

Walk on the Wild Side is my all-time favorite song.

That sax solo is something.

Glad to see other Lou Reed fans around. I always wanted to see him live. He will be missed.

A colleague at work was a member of Lou Reed's high school band. Lou continued in music; Richard went on to be a sociologist. I accompanied him to a Lou Reed concert in the old Passaic Theater in north Jersey in the 70's. Lou was really ticked at the crowd that was so rowdy he could hardly be heard.

Here you go.
