Lou was like a father to me.
I have never felt so perceived and loved for who I actually am by a man than by Lou Reed.
He fought tirelessly for me to have a place in the daylight culture.
My career would never have taken off without Lou's tremendous influence.
Those close to Lou knew him as a lion-hearted and intensely caring friend.
When discussing death a couple of weeks ago, he told me that I was focussed on the wrong thing.
His goal especially recently has been to exercise his mental discipline to stay in the present and not be held hostage by fear of an illusory future.
He faced death with dignity and courage, and even then remained a teacher and mentor to me.
i miss him with all my heart. It is hard for me to reconcile that such a giant could really be gone.
