Lou Reed you dirty rotten...

It seems that Lou Reed, our elder statesman of Rock has for sometime now all but foregone any sort of touring, at least in North America.
I believe there was even a Facebook petition.
I'll join in with the shaking my fist at Lou for abandoning us, although he earns  a bit of a reprieve for making all those metal fans come undone over Lulu.  And no I have no issue with metal or it's fans)
However, in Europe it's a different story, as at 70 Lou is still at it, and by all accounts putting on a more than reasonable show.  I'll still reserve the right to shake my fist at the dirty rotten bastard, but must admit that without Lou I wouldn't be playing guitar, and that fifty plus years in the music business is something.  He has maybe earned the right?
Well, let's just say that maybe we miss you a little Lou, all the way out there in Europe... but can still appreciate you getting on getting on.
Some people like to go out dancing, people like us....
Amen Lou.
