We took a walk on the
IJ-side to attend the tribute for the late great Lou Reed, at Pakhuis
Wilhelmina, in the Amsterdam outskirts.
Sunday afternoon, no
more mourning, a week after his death.
But instead a fantastic
gig to reminisce his talent.
I overheard a
conversation in the smokers lounge: “With the death of Lou Reed my
youth passed away.” I couldn't help interfering: “again?”
Almost all our sixties
and seventies hero's are gone by now.
The band didn't play
'Perfect Day'.
The guy who was
claiming 'Perfect Day' was just another tearjerker, covered by almost
everybody, except James Last, was wrong.
It was just such a
perfect day indeed, I was glad I spend it with HER.
And then later, when it
was getting dark, we went home and forgot ourselves.
Lewis Allen "Lou" Reed (March 2, 1942 – October 27, 2013)
