I read an extended article on my iPhone at cnn.mobi. Here is an article from CNN's main site that contains most of the same information as well as a slide show, a couple of videos, and an article about other greats we have lost this year.

I liked one comment in the mobile version that was missing from the article below. As best I recall it said something like: "Velvet Underground's first album only sold 30,000 copies. I think everyone who bought it started a band."
