Uncanny isn't it?
"I never liked The Beatles, I never really liked any British group, I don't think the British should play rock and roll... I never took British rock and roll seriously and I still don't." (Lou Reed speaking in 1983)

Well he was right about the Beatles of course, but let's not forget Lou was prone to the odd bit of substance abuse that he has admitted affected his memory. For instance I have just watched the Rock and Roll Heart documentary, and he was fulsome in his praise of the extremely British David Bowie.

2 or 3 good tunes via V. U. vastly overrated.
Berlin, magnificent, captured beautiful depression, Rock n Roll Animal Pt 01 / 02 Live, Transformer - ok, but Mick Ronsonson never did get the credit as a brilliant producer, arranger.
Kill your Son - from whatever vinyl I had over the ears twas another goodish tune.
Peace

(New York City) – New York City Coroners are still running tests to determine whether initial reports of legendary Velvet Underground singer-songwriter Lou Reed’s death are correct. Early indications suggested that he was merely in a funk of some sort, staring stonily at friends during a luncheon at his Blairstown, New Jersey home yesterday, though forensic scientists say this may have been evidence of early onset death.
Reed remained mute throughout the party, which at least one guest attributed to his wife’s fawning allusion to his groundbreaking band. ”Lou’s easily pissed off and doesn’t appreciate someone trying to blow smoke up his ass,” recalled neighbour Max Unger. “So when Carole [Unger] said something about the Velvet’s first LP capturing the zeitgeist of 60s bohemian New York much better than Midnight Cowboy, and Lou just sat there, I assumed he was just, you know, being crotchety, but it’s possible he was dead.”
Confusion has also arisen due to Reed’s pale, drawn appearance of late. ”He’s been looking especially careworn and cadaverous during the past ten years,” a spokesman for New York’s Chief Medical Examiner reported. “So it’s not unthinkable that Mr. Reed has been deceased since the early 2000s.”
Others have refused to speculate on the notoriously difficult interviewee’s hold on life until his next album: “I’m content to wait until Lou releases some new music before deciding whether he’s dead or not,” said one New York fan this morning. “If it’s just, like, silence, then I think a case can be made for his passing on.”

Ok, if we're regurgitating quotes from wise men that have already been posted.
"Let Abjectprick censor. He cannot create anything of his own but only destroy the wiser words of men more clever than his simple self. Sad fucker. Eventually he'll realise how little he's wanted here and even less needed and piss off like all the cunts and rats eventually and do.

Lou Reed died 27 October, 2013. Here Mark E Smith eulogises – on being a criminally devout Velvet Underground fan. Not a 'Velvets' or 'Lou Reed' fan. At 14 when some bikers in town told me I could score at this horrible gig in Sth. M/CR, Lou Reed was a constant in my life. The support group was 'Lou Reed & The Tots'. By 73 I was a criminally devout Velvet Underground fan. Not a 'Velvets' or 'Lou Reed' fan. Or Johnny cum latelys. About 87 when my mother was moving out, I stood in the front room and looked at the stereogram I'd listen to "Sister Ray" on full blast, 14 years back. I opened the curtain and Nico walked past the house. On the 'Gorillaz' tour, Lou Reed must've been the only person I didn't talk to. I bowed and he nodded. The Velvet Underground group live and on vinyl of 1969–70 excels over 'pop & rock' of yesterday, tomorrow, this, last and next week. The Remainderer. "WHEN ARE YOU GONNA LEAVE, YOU FUCKIN TRAMPS?"
