 LOU REED

by his sister

The Independent Newspaper 'i' published an article on Lou Reed this morning by his sister Merrill Reed Weiner
They got it from medium.com which frankly is a really great website for American cultural articles
I found the article from Merrill really touching and having shared the damage and pain ECT can cause people from the same period, empathise with what she tells us here about Lou and the families struggles. It is a heartfelt and affectionate piece that rings with a truth only a loving sibling could know. I was going to lift it piecemeal from the paper but encourage you to check out medium.com so put it as a link . . . . . .
Really worth a 'REED' sorry!
