Happy 82 To The Late King Of New York City LOU REED

David Bowie once called Lou Reed the King Of New York. He was that and much
more. A wayward, narcissistic genius in sound and vision. From the experimental
days of The Velvet Underground and mentor Andy Warhol, to his long solo career – spanning five decades – with ups and downs, with several masterly albums, and
multiple collaborations (with The Killers, Anthony Hegarty, Metallica, Gorillaz and more).

I saw him live (only) five times. Every show was a special experience. Today he would
have celebrated his 82th birthday. Lewis Allan Reed was born in Brooklyn, New York
on 2 March 1942. He passed away in 2013 due to a liver disease after a transplant.

To celebrate the late legend’s birthday I picked these three remarkable live moments.

A book named The Art of the Straight Line: My Tai Chi was released this week.
It captures the energy of Lou Reed’s worlds of Tai Chi, music, and meditation. It was
edited by his widow Laurie Anderson, with Stephan Berwick, Bob Currie, and Scott Richman.

Along with the book comes a previously unreleased track titled OPEN INVITATION
from the sessions of his 1984 album New Sensations, one of his rare upbeat LPs.

Listen here to a funky-groovy Lou Reed.
