Heavens, what a shame.

The Velvet Underground loomed large musically in my mid to late teens... while I've never been an advocate of using the hard stuff, this is still a truly beguiling paean to the lure and the desperate grip inflicted on its (un/willing) disciples:

True poetry, if a little uncomfortable.

Rest in peace.

...and now for something a little more light hearted:

Lou Reed + Nico: the perfect collaboration, orchestrated by Andy Warhol.
Looked great on film, but less so in real life.
