Lou

Legendary American singer Lou Reed has died at the age of seventy-one.

I personally consider the death of an artist like Lou Reed tragic.

"Steve, some think the end of the world is 'nigh', but what do you think?" "Lou, you know there are rapid desertification, vast deforestation, and increasing pollution worldwide, so we can't rule out that scenario!" "Yeah, people are killing our Earth."

"Lou, our hope may be in environmental engineering to save us from global environmental disaster!" "Steve, I think I understand."

"Lou, every city has a big garbage dump that leaks poisons into the environment." "Steve, people should know."

"Lou, a big war may not mean the end of everything." "Yeah, Steve, you think there might be survivors."

"Lou, authors like Olaf Stapledon, who was a historian, knew that history has its ups and downs." "Steve, you know a return to Dark Ages is not impossible."

My brother Lou is in Budapest.

A variety of health conditions can rob people of their ability to speak, including stroke, a neuromuscular disease called amyotrophic lateral sclerosis or Lou Gehrig’s disease, and locked-in syndrome, in which individuals are completely awake and aware of their surroundings but unable to move or communicate with the outside world.
