Lou Reed, the legendary musician known
for being the lead singer of The Velvet
Underground and for his solo career, died
on Oct. 27 at 71. The AP reported that Reed
died of an ailment related to his recent
liver transplant, citing his literary agent.
“[T]here are really only a tiny handful of
other figures who you can compare to him,” Simon Vozick-Levinson, a senior editor at
Rolling Stone, told CNN of Reed. Rolling Stone ranks The Velvet Underground’s debut
album, The Velvet Underground and Nico, as the 13th greatest of all time.
The Boston Red Sox beat the St. Louis
Cardinals to win the 2013 World Series
Wednesday night, with a final score of 6 to
1. David Ortiz, the Red Sox star, was named
the MVP of the series. This is the third
win in the last 10 years for the Red Sox,
but the first time since Babe Ruth’s team
in 1918 that they’ve played the winning
game in their home ballpark, Fenway Park.
The win comes after the Boston Marathon
bombings earlier this year. The Red Sox
wore “Boston Strong” logos on their
sleeves, and Fenway’s center field showed a
“B strong” logo mowed into the grass.
