Lou Reed is a hero of mine and of many of our readers, so for him to unexpectedly attend our first US event was a rare treat ... Music plays a significant role with this 50+ generation, and the aim of these events is to recapture the experience of the LP by listening to it on vinyl with friends, and in the way it was always intended.
