Renaissance Reed

Lou Reed , Mistral of his time so you walked this road on the wild side unique in music , never selling out believing in Art instead of commercialize Lou Reed the musician never compromised ~ Sweet Jane not enough for our crowd of eccentric rockers still will live forever with the many that left before you one can imagine from John Lennon to Johnny Ramone a party in Heaven of the finest rock bestowed no text , no MTV when they pursued a dream New York, hotel Chelsea an age of Renaissance ragged jeans and leather jackets ,Art on stage No, your Rock not ever fade away , it will stay sweet Jane forever ~ For the fine Man with words , ode to Lou Reed .
