Our most uncompromising rock star
Oct. 28th, 2013 03:13 pmLou Reed died last night. Tributes can be found many many places. Here's the WaPo, from which I took the titular phrase:

Whatever you can say about Reed can't compare to listening to his music. I've been listening to it in various forms since 1972's "Walk on the Wild Side" hit my ears. I'm sorry I never got to see him perform live.
Class Actress posted this fantastic cover of "Candy Says", a Velvet Underground classic. It's a great tribute. https://soundcloud.com/classactress/candy-says
