We have all probably heard Lou Reed's "Walk on the wild side" at some time.The inspiration for the song,Holly Woodlawn (Born Harold Danhakl) has died aged 69.
The first verse starts.................

"Holly came from Miami, F.L.A.

Hitchhiked her way across the U.S.A.

Plucked her eyebrows on the way.

Shaved her legs and then he was a she.

She says, 'Hey, babe, take a walk on the wild side'."
