Another Rock legend dies.

I was a fan of the Velvet Underground from day one.

From The BBC (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-24697765)
Known for tracks including Perfect Day and Walk on the Wild Side, Reed
was considered one of the most influential singers and songwriters in rock.

The Velvet Underground became renowned for their fusion of art and
music and for collaborating with Andy Warhol.

According to the Associated Press news agency, Reed's literary agent
said he died of a "liver-related ailment".

The only Lou Reed music I've ever heard is on the 'Lost Highway' soundtrack. Damn good music, damned good musician. RIP.
