R.I.P Lou Reed October 28, 2013, 06:28:18 pm One of the greatest ever musicians passes away and surprisingly there hasn't been a thread on this. Makes you wonder with the absolute garbage brought out these days with every Tom, Dick and Harry masquerading as a musician that it's only a matter of time until all the classics pass away.
