From my good friend Alexander Bowe (who I didnt even know was a Lou Reed fan). Celebrity deaths rarely touch me but this one has hit me harder than most. Reed is one of the most influential artists in American music and most of what I listen to, whether it be punk, alternative, glam, grunge, and a whole multitude of obscure left-field styles can all be traced directly back to his work. Neil Gaiman shares many of my same feelings as we discovered his work early in our teenage years and have used it as a muse for writing fiction (way back when I did that). Yes, we lost a great artistic light on Sunday, but if anything we should be celebrating Reeds life and art as a form of mourning rather than just sitting along being sad.
