Tributes Pour in for Lou Reed

Here’s what Morrissey wrote on the semi-official site, True to You:

‘Oh Lou / why did you leave us this way?’

No words to express the sadness at the death of Lou Reed. He had been there all of my life. He will always be pressed to my heart. Thank God for those, like Lou, who move within their own laws, otherwise imagine how dull the world would be. I knew the Lou of recent years and he was always full of good heart. His music will outlive time itself.
We are all timebound, but today, with the loss of liberating Lou, life is a pigsty.

‘7 glasses used to becalled for six good mates and me

now we only call for three’
