Wow. I love the first three VU albums, and the live '69 double too. His solo stuff - transformer not withstanding - mostly fucking sucked though. I've got it all, and it just stinks.

Drink, drugs, and not giving a flying fuck about much of reality will get you in the end. (even if it take 71 years to do so )

"Reap just what you sow".

Not a fan and could take or leave.

But some folk are soft for the rebel.

Soundtrack in my life. Loved the fact he couldn't really play guitar or sing very well...My hero.

He lived a life.

Heroin was his song and his plaything. Fare thee well Lou. RIP.

Very cool artist....inventor of the "Ostrich" guitar and keen motorcyclist.

"Rock and Roll Animal" and "Transformer" are two of my fave solo albums. Some of the VU stuff was just magical - I still play "Venus in Furs" regularly.

Cool, if short, interview with Herbie Flowers, (bass player on Transformer), on Radio 4 this morning who noted that "he couldn't sing" great 20th century poet though.

Rave on Lou

Yeah but was he just getting paid for it.

Ooh! Cynical!

I know, I know. But hey. He was American after all.

He was a member of the Harley Davidson owners club....I won't hold that against him. He liked bikes for the same reason we all do...A sense of freedom being one, prostate massaging possibly another.
