RIP Lou

 

Intro to Sweet Jane is some hot guitar work.

 

I had Rock n Roll Animal when I was young. Had a song on it called Heroin. Some wild stuff.

Velvet Underground was one of the best ground breaking groups ever.

[Ray McKigney]

That sucks. RIP.

Well the coal black sea waits for me, me, me
The coal black sea waits forever
The waves hit the shore crying more, more, more
But the coal black sea waits forever

The tornados come, up the coast they run
Hurricanes rip the sky forever
Through the weathers change, the sea remains the same
The coal black sea waits forever

There are ashes spilt through collective guilt
People rest at sea forever
Since they burnt you up, collect you in a cup
For you the coal black sea has no terror

Will your ashes float like some foreign boat
Or will they sink absorbed forever?
Will the Atlantic Coast have its final boast?
Nothing else contained you ever

Now the coal black sea waits for me, me, me
The coal black sea waits forever
When I leave this joint at some further point
The same coal black sea will it be waiting

[Lhalo]

Huge, huge bummer. RIP Lou.

Another great one, gone.

It's amazing he didn't die 40 years ago

grew up in that era but never really cared for his music. his stuff always seemed bizarre.

I've never cared for his music either. He's pretty high up in the rock hierarchy though. One tier down from the likes of musicians such as Dylan and McCartney.
