Lou Reed died over the weekend. Reed certainly attained a culturally iconic status, such that his death makes one pause (and makes me think how he figures into the living breathing collection at ODY). The Daily Beast has a nice “set list” of music and performances by Reed on the open web, and here is a juke box of titles by and about Reed in our collection:
- The Raven lyrics and text by Lou Reed with photographs by Julian Schnabel
