Lou Reed died on October 26, 2013 from complications brought on by a liver transplant. Reed was a genius that brought a gritty street reality to music. "Walk on the Wild Side" is his signature song and encompasses Reed's style. He pushed the boundaries with topics including drugs, transsexuality, and male prostitution. It is amazing the song became a radio favorite because Reed does not try to use innuendo. He is upfront with his topics. Rest in peace Lou!
