Don't know what else more to say.

Lou Reed, the influential singer-songwriter and guitarist who was the principal singer in the Velvet Underground, a band that had profound impact on the high-I.Q., low-virtuosity stratum of alternative and underground rock around the world, died Sunday on Long Island. He was 71.

Yeah, pretty unbelievable.

Considering his reputation though, it's funny that you posted this in "people skills." Ironic, I should say...

Yeah... wasn't sure where to put something like this. I normally just look at the "megaboard" so I don't even know what the categories are.

I had no idea he was married to Laurie Anderson. Man. Hard blow. Very sad. Not too many like him anymore.
