Lou Reed RIP

This is stunning. Also too, consider this an exception to the new rule.

What I know him for…:

Lou Reed, a massively influential songwriter and guitarist who helped shape nearly fifty years of rock music, died today. The cause of his death has not yet been released, but Reed underwent a liver transplant in May.
