Lou Reed is dead at 71. I can't remember why I bought the album - the first - Velvet Underground and Nico when it came out in 1967. I don't think I really understood what he was saying in Heroin.

It certainly was not the Hootenanny folkie goodie goodie music like Simon & Garfunkel that I loved. It was part of a new anti-establishment wave that had lasting impact, even for those of us who never did take a walk on the wild side.
