Lou Reed - crusty to the end

Apparently this is Lou's final interview. You can see in his eyes that he's not well but he's still crusty as hell. I love that he died doing tai chi in Laurie Anderson's arms.

Laurie wrote about their life together, and his passing, in Rolling Stone.

"I have never seen an expression as full of wonder as Lou's as he died. His hands were doing the water-flowing 21-form of tai chi. His eyes were wide open. I was holding in my arms the person I loved the most in the world, and talking to him as he died. His heart stopped. He wasn't afraid. I had gotten to walk with him to the end of the world. Life – so beautiful, painful and dazzling – does not get better than that. And death? I believe that the purpose of death is the release of love."
