As happy as I am to see that Tara's back and posting again, this post makes me a little sad. It makes me sad because, on the other side of that Rolling Stone she's holding, a true legend, pioneer, and the Godfather of Punk, Lou Reed is honored and memorialized. These past few weeks have been conflicting for me because, while ARTPOP has been creating a frenzy amongst us all, one of my greatest idols is no longer with us.
I'm sorry for being a bit of a downer, but I feel as though a man who opened doors for so many artists for almost 5 decades is due some mad respect. I mean, without Lou Reed's "Metal Machine Music", Heavy Metal Lover would just be, well...
Lover.
