Lou Reed

I wonder if I can say something meaningful about someone who I didn't know at all.
So you better read what Iggy Pop has to say.
Nevertheless, one day I went out in front of a rather big audience, showed a banana to them and made a reference to the famous Velvet Underground album (Nobody understood what I meant but at least some of them got curious).
At school I always envied another guy who played some Lou Reed songs on the guitar, which was much cooler than my hopeless efforts of trying to play Hendrix riffs.
Finally I have to admit that I love "Heroin", "Rock'N'Roll" and "Satellite of Love" ( and almost all of the other stuff)
There is nothing more I can say.
