Oh dear. Like a conveyor belt now! From the few and rare interviews I've seen he seemed to be very happy in his later years though, and it seems a lot to do with his partner, Laurie Anderson. Quite an unexpected pairing I always thought, but watching them together it made sense.

Shocked and saddened. RIP Lou.

 

[Hi-FiOutlaw]

I, like many others, will never forget hearing the first album as a teenager for the first time and being blown away.

RIP

The drugs and fags didn't help though, and he still made it to 71.

Sorry to bump this, but couldn't think where else to put this, and didn't think it was worth it's own thread.
