This week marks the passing of a legend within the music industry, Lou Reed.
The newspapers in Belgium were filled with front-page tributes, memorials, and testimonies to how Reed touched/changed/transformed the lives of many who grew up in the 60's, 70's and 80's.
Both with and without the Velvet Underground, Reed definitely took music for a walk on the wild side and left an indelible imprint upon millions of listeners, as attested by the 22 million views of the video below.
Though highly played in circulation, "Perfect Day" still resonates with me on many levels, and especially on days like today when I spent it with my very special daughter doing things together, laughing and enjoying the day.
It was indeed perfect.
