He made his mark. Lou Reed influenced two generations of musicians. I am not a huge fan but he put out some great tunes with the VU.

The guy looked to be in good shape after the liver transplant and looked a hell of a lot better than Keith Richards. I am surprised he didn’t make it.

One of the measures of his influence is that both prog rock and punk (anti-prog rock) can trace their lineage directly to the VU.

Keith will outlive us all, if he hasn't died yet, then nothing can kill him.
