This one’s going out to Lou and Rachel . . . . . .

IN MEMORIUM 

To transexual Rachel Humphreys who died Jan 30th 1990 aged 37 in Saint Clare's Hospital NY a hospital that specialised in AIDS/HIV care

Lou Reed - Coney Island Baby (live)

Though Lou spoke little about Rachel after their split up he would not hear a bad word said about her and fell out with Lester Bangs for being disrespectful about her and they never spoke again. She had an unhappy end and was last seen homeless and sleeping rough under a famous NY Westside Highway, gaunt and probably dying from AIDS
As for Lou
It’s simple - he loved her

r/redscarepod - They dated for 5 years in the 70s. He treated her like shit, dumped her, then she eventually died of AIDS in 1990
