“I’’ll be your mirror Reflect what you are, in case you don't know” – Lou ReedHappy Birthday to the icon, visionary and transformer
"The songs of Lou Reed are a manual of sorts for how to keep living after you have let yourself and everyone else down, or after the world has done that for you." Happy Birthday, Lou.
In 1977, the Voice profiled Danny Fields, "friend of Lou Reed and Andy Warhol, editor of 16 Magazine, and manager of the Ramones" who was born on this date in 1939. Happy 80th Birthday Danny! (h/t @RamonesOfficial )
Happy Birthday to Lou Reed: When asked about the Velvet Underground album, “White Light/White Heat,” Reed once told an interviewer, “It’s aggressive, yes. But it’s not aggressive-bad. This is aggressive, going to God.”
"People just have to die for the music. People are dying for everything else, so why not the music?" Happy birthday, Lou Reed .... Here with the Velvet Underground, natch. Photo: Adam Ritchie, 1965
