Read Laurie Anderson's Tribute to Late Husband Lou Reed

The legendary Laurie Anderson has written a moving tribute to her late husband Lou Reed, published today by the East Hampton Star . In the note, she describes the last days before Reed died of liver disease last week: "He died on Sunday morning looking at the trees and doing the famous 21 form of tai chi with just his musician hands moving through the air."

Here it is in full:

To our neighbors:

What a beautiful fall! Everything shimmering and golden and all that incredible soft light. Water surrounding us.

Lou and I have spent a lot of time here in the past few years, and even though we’re city people this is our spiritual home.

Last week I promised Lou to get him out of the hospital and come home to Springs. And we made it!

Lou was a tai chi master and spent his last days here being happy and dazzled by the beauty and power and softness of nature. He died on Sunday morning looking at the trees and doing the famous 21 form of tai chi with just his musician hands moving through the air.

Lou was a prince and a fighter and I know his songs of the pain and beauty in the world will fill many people with the incredible joy he felt for life. Long live the beauty that comes down and through and onto all of us.

— Laurie Anderson

Jay Z Responds to Barneys Racism Controversy

Photo by Ari Marcopoulos

Jay Z has taken to his site Life+Times to post a long statement about his holiday collaboration with Barneys, which has come under fire in light of recent reports that the store discriminates against black shoppers. In the tone of a true politician, Jay writes that he's waiting for more facts about the recent racial profiling case before he takes any steps.

He speaks out against those urging him to pull out of the Barneys deal, likening those "snap judgments" to the act of racial profiling. He also emphasizes that he's not benefiting financially from the deal, and that pulling out of the collaboration would primarily hurt those who benefit from the Shawn Carter Foundation (which will receive 25 percent of sales of the Jay-Z/Barneys holiday collection). Here's the full statement:

This collaboration lives in a place of giving and is about the Foundation. I am not making a dime from this collection; I do not stand to make millions, as falsely reported. I need to make that fact crystal clear. The Shawn Carter Foundation is the beneficiary and the foundation is receiving 25% of all sales from the collaboration, 10% of all sales generated in the store on November 20th and an additional donation from Barneys. This money is going to help individuals facing socio-economic hardships to help further their education at institutions of higher learning. My idea was born out of creativity and charity… not profit.

I move and speak based on facts and not emotion. I haven’t made any comments because I am waiting on facts and the outcome of a meeting between community leaders and Barneys. Why am I being demonized, denounced and thrown on the cover of a newspaper for not speaking immediately? The negligent, erroneous reports and attacks on my character, intentions, and the spirit of this collaboration have forced me into a statement I didn’t want to make without the full facts. Making a decision prematurely to pull out of this project, wouldn’t hurt Barneys or Shawn Carter, but all the people that stand a chance at higher education. I have been working with my team ever since the situation was brought to my attention to get to the bottom of these incidents and at the same time find a solution that doesn’t harm all those that stand to benefit from this collaboration.

I am against discrimination of any kind, but if I make snap judgements, no matter who it’s towards, aren’t I committing the same sin as someone who profiles? I am no stranger to being profiled and I truly empathize with anyone that has been put in that position. Hopefully this brings forth a dialogue to effect real change.

– Shawn “JAY Z” Carter

In a related development, once again, we have an example of the stark contrast between Jay Z and his buddy Kanye West this year. Kanye, per AllHipHop, used one of his recent Yeezus gigs to denounce racism in the fashion industry, and made direct reference to the recent Barneys incidents in speech that riffed on the lyrics to "New Slaves". "That's that racial profiling out in front of Barneys and shit," he said, "Talking about, 'Did you steal that?'"

Watch full video of Kanye's speech, via AllHipHop:

Drake Philadelphia Show Cancellation Explained

TMZ has a bit of an explanation for what happened at Drake's show in Philadelphia on Friday night, which was cancelled an hour after go-time due to unexplained "technical issues". There was apparently an electrical problem with the catwalk-like structure that Drake walks on above the audience during the show. TMZ says there was some fear that it would fall into the crowd. It's in the process of being fixed, though, and no other shows on the Would You Like a Tour? have been canceled.

Watch footage of Drake performing "Worst Behaviour" at the opening night of the tour, featuring said catwalk:
