His fascination with subculture and the underdogs of society inspired his work, most famously with songs such as Heroin, Walk on The Wild Side and Waiting For The Man. Though he practiced what he preached, Lou lived to the age of 71. Medical Examiner Dr Michael Hunter has found evidence of events in Lou's early life that fueled the rebellious tendencies which defined his life and ultimately caused his death.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who originally said those who don't learn from history?
As much as we would love to live in an ideal world where everyone learns from history, there is nothing more valuable than learning from our mistakes.
You can't learn anything better than trying it wrong.
The real error is not making sure you do it correctly the first attempt.
As long as you keep making improvements, you'll eventually understand why you made those changes.
It is possible to discover that you could have done things better the first time around.
You shouldn't give up on trying again. You've learned a lot.
While you may not be able avoid making mistakes, there are ways to minimize them. That's what makes the difference between success or failure.
Acknowledging your mistakes begins the process. Take a step back and look at your mistakes objectively. Then ask yourself, "What did you learn?"
Being honest with yourself will help you see that your mistakes are only lessons. They're learning experiences that can help you grow.
Thomas Edison was the victim of this fate. He failed numerous times before finally inventing light bulbs.
He didn't let his failures discourage him. He used every failure as an opportunity to improve the design.
He developed the most well-known form of lighting we have today.
So, if you fail, don't get discouraged. Learn from your mistakes. Use them.
And then try again.
What can we learn about Abraham Lincoln?
Abraham Lincoln said, "I am slow to learn; very quick to forget."
He was conscious of how important it was for him to keep learning. He also understood that he would eventually have to learn new habits.
The same applies to our businesses. We will hit roadblocks sometimes, and get stuck in unproductive ruts no matter how many times we plan for our success.
That's why it's crucial to seek new ways to grow and evolve constantly. Even after we achieve success, it is essential to continue learning.
Lincoln was a good example of the right attitude. Lincoln understood that he could be more efficient in his business but that he couldn't quit learning.
There are two types entrepreneurs. They are those who are busy and those that stay smart.
Those who stay active focus on growing their business. They spend their time on product development and marketing, as well as customer service.
Although they may feel they have achieved something significant, they often miss the mark. Unless these entrepreneurs are also focused on staying smarter, they won't achieve sustainable growth.
What sets successful entrepreneurs apart? The ability to quickly adapt to changing circumstances.
Entrepreneurs who are successful find ways to improve their products and services when they face challenges.
However, the average entrepreneur will stick with outdated methods that do not work. They are unwilling to change their course of action until their business collapses.
It is essential to learn both the art of adapting and self-reflection in order for success.
What lessons can history teach us?
We have three lessons from history. First, it is up to you to make a difference in the world. The second is to ensure that people are ready to accept change in their lives. Third, when you change the future, you have to make it better.
First, there are two ways to make the world better. One is fighting for it, the other is creating it. Fighting for it is about winning, not remembering why you started fighting.
It is impossible to control how people respond to your ideas. However, it is possible to control how you present them. If you try to convince someone, you will fail. However, if you are determined to motivate someone to take action, you will succeed.
People had an idea, and they decided to take action. This is how most great movements started. No matter whether you are creating change, or reacting to it. Here are three ways you can make your mark: Be clear about the things you want, be honest with where you came from, be courageous enough to go where no other person has gone before, and be clear about who you are.
The second lesson is the fact that we all have the power to make our lives better. We can either allow our lives to unfold, or choose to create them. This means we need to choose what kind of life you want. Is it better to decide what kind of life we want or wait for someone else? Or do you want to be in control of your destiny?
We are living in a golden age, I would argue. There's more opportunity than ever before, creating a lot of excitement. It's exciting to see people feel empowered to shape their future.
But it also creates a problem. Because not everyone knows exactly what they want or even how to get it, it's important to figure out what you want and find a way to get it.
Let's say, for instance, that you are looking to buy a home. You could either sit back and expect someone to gift you a Home Depot gift certificate. Or, you can ask yourself, "What do I love to be doing?" Find a job that will allow you to do it. Finally, apply for financing.
Now, suppose you were to travel the world. The question you might be asking yourself is "Where do I want go?" Next, you might start saving money, looking up countries online, and talking to your friends. The final step is to book a flight.
Let's say that you don't have a clear idea of what you want. In that case, you'd probably end up doing one of those things anyway. But by asking yourself questions like this, you increase your chances of getting what you want. It might seem ridiculous, but it's true.
And the third lesson is that no matter what happens next, you can always improve the future. It is easy to see why. Your choices influence who you are and what you become.
Use history to your advantage, to learn from other people's failures and successes and to keep improving until success.
If you don’t believe you can offer anything, you’re already behind. You have to believe that you're better than you thought you were.
Don't worry if you don't know where you should start. Start small and build from there. Consider what you have learned over the course of your life. What have your failures been? What were your successes? How have you overcome obstacles?
Remember that you are the only one who can limit your potential. You can accomplish anything, no matter what anyone tells you.
Benjamin Franklin once said that "Nothing will work without you."
What is the most important thing you should know about history?
This question is not easy to answer. Learning can be viewed in three ways. We must first realize that knowledge is power. We must also recognize the fact that knowledge is cumulative. Third, it is important to recognize how rapidly knowledge changes.
Knowledge is power because it empowers us to make better decisions and improve our lives. If we had all the information, it wouldn't be difficult to make decisions. We'd do what we want, without worrying about whether it was correct or not.
Knowledge is not just power; it's also cumulative. This means that knowledge is not only powerful, but also cumulative. As time goes on, we become smarter. Knowledge accumulates.
Let's now look at the third. Although knowledge is cumulative it doesn't remain static for very long. Knowledge is constantly evolving. Scientists are constantly discovering new facts, theories, or ways to think. Every day, new discoveries are made.
Our culture depends heavily on technology, which makes it possible to have instant access to knowledge. It is possible to store large amounts of data digitally and share it with millions of people around the world.
Globalization has changed how we think about technology. Globalization refers to the spread of ideas and products across borders. Globalization has made knowledge accessible to everyone.
Anyone can access any information on the internet. You can surf the internet, read books, listen to music and play video games. Knowledge is required for all of these activities.
Although knowledge is becoming easier to access, it is also becoming more specific. Today, there are thousands of websites providing advice on topics such a health, finance, business and cooking. These websites offer information on almost every topic you can think of.
But if you go online to buy a car, you'll probably find only a few dozen sites offering automotive-related services and products. Instead of finding thousands of sites covering every conceivable subject, you'll find only a handful covering cars.
Experts in particular fields have the ability to share and create value. This is why experts in these areas are so popular. Experts often have an in-depth knowledge of a subject. Experts can also produce content of high quality that is targeted to their particular audience.
Because consumers don't need to scroll through endless amounts of information, they can focus on a specific niche. Instead, they can rely on a limited number of websites that offer lots of valuable content.
Specialization is also a benefit for experts, who can create strong businesses around their expertise. If someone purchases a book, they expect the author to be an expert in his field and to present a clear and concise explanation. He wants to feel confident that the author is able to convey his message.
Experts that aren't specialists risk losing potential clients who expect them to be experts.
Specialization isn't limited to just one area. Today, most of us are specialists in many different areas. A specialist could be an accountant. But we're also likely to be a parent, spouses, friends, and fans.
Experts argue that specialization is so common that it's impossible for one person to be an expert in all aspects of the same thing.
How can you become an expert in multiple fields? The simple answer is practice. To learn anything, you have to practice. You can make great progress if you continue to work until people recognize you.
Many industries today are dedicated to helping others accomplish this goal. Some courses, workshops, seminars, conferences, and even schools teach people how to gain knowledge quickly.

How To
Discovery of Penicillin: Successful Inventions Made by Accident
How did penicillin come into existence?
Alexander Fleming, who had some bacteria cultures left behind, noticed that penicillin was growing on them. He was concerned that the mold might kill bacteria and so he sought out a way to destroy it.
Penicillin was able to kill the mold. Then he discovered that it could also be used to fight bacteria-related infections. Penicillin was a major medical breakthrough. It saved millions of people's lives and revolutionized medicine.
Alexander Fleming wasn't aware at first that this discovery would be so crucial. Neither did anyone else. Penicillin was a powerful antibiotic that no one had ever imagined.
Penicillin was discovered to be effective in fighting bacterial infections by scientists only after World War II. In 1945, the U.S. Army contacted Dr. Fleming to see if penicillin could help soldiers who had been infected with deadly germs. Dr. Fleming was willing to give it a try.
Penicillin is effective against many types of infections, as it turned out. It saved the lives and limbs of many wounded soldiers during World War II. It saved many lives, and it was used by doctors to save more.
Dr. Fleming had no idea that his discovery would have such an impact. He simply wanted to make sure that mold doesn't grow in the bacteria cultures he studied. He could not imagine that this simple experiment would lead him to such a miraculous medical breakthrough.
Many discoveries made every day aren't really remarkable. They are simply experiments made for no reason.
If you look back at history, you will see that even seemingly insignificant experiments can make a huge difference.
Even discoveries that appear to have little in common end up being extremely important. Like the discovery of penicillin. Or photography. Or electricity. Or even computers.
It is not because someone has a brilliant idea. It occurs because someone has a problem. Then, they try to solve the problem through experimentation.
