Thread Name: Obit: Lou Reed (1942-2013)
Subject: RE: Obit: Lou Reed (1942-2013)
Incidentally, when Phil Oakey of the Human League sang

"I believe, I believe what the old man said
Though I know that there's no Lord above
I believe in you, I believe in me,
And you know I believe in love"

(in the middle eight of "Love Action")

"the old man" was Lou (who was actually only 13 years older than Oakey - at the time of "Love Action" he was all of 39!).
