LOU REED (March 2, 1942 – October 27, 2013)

Another legend has died.  Sadly, Lou Reed passed away due to complications with his recent liver transplant.  Love them or hate them, the Velvet Underground are one of the most important bands in the history of rock and roll, period.  They have influenced everyone from David Bowie to Joy Division and are one of my personal favourites.  

Lulu may not be exactly the high point of Lou's career (though it is not as bad as many claim… still, I must admit, even I have trouble calling it good), but I was lucky enough to see him in San Francisco with Metallica at Metallica's 30th Anniversary bash, here are a few photos my lady took at the event.  R.I.P. Lou.
