“Sweet Jane”

That’s his really great song in my opinion.
Have a few of his albums, Coney Island Baby, he was a real New Yorker I guess, lots of good stuff and Metal Machine Music too.
I remember when he got his liver transplant this year. Still not clear what happened to Lou Reed.
The wikipedia article says he got electro-shock (actually electro-convulsive) therapy as a teenager.

All day, I couldn't think of 'the other' Lou Reed song that I really, really liked.
