A legend passed away this weekend.
That the man behind such songs as “Waiting for the Man” and “Heroin” continued to produce work to the ripe age of 71 is almost as surprising as his abrupt passing. We’re big fans at Ooh La La and we’ve been both celebrating his life and mourning his death since we heard the news.
Unlike many of the young rock n’ roll legends who died young, Lou met his full potential and yet never ceased to experiment with new ideas, collaborations and mediums.
To say that his work with The Velvet Underground was influential would be a massive understatement. Lou was one of the pillars of what underground music has become, a veritable master of rock & roll.
You’ll be missed, Mr. Lou Reed.
