While its probably true, waiting for some other site to confirm it, esp since the rs post has so little detail and so much bio it reads like an obit on file

i was lucky enough to see the Velvets at Glastonbury 1993, first band i ever saw on the Pyramid Stage. it was a scorchingly hot sunny day, Lou was in a bad mood, it was brilliant.

he's in that Pomus documentary, tot worth seeing btw

Been meaning to see that documentary, I believe Lou is the one who reads from Doc's journals. Would be kind of extra-emotional to watch it now, I guess.

If you like that kind of interview you should read the book in which Luis Buñuel is interviewed by two Mexican film professors, Objects of Desire.

Wow. I never think death when I see a thread at the top. But I just went on Facebook, saw two Reed-related posts, and there it is. I will be checking network newscasts tonight and tomorrow to see if they lead with this. Yes, I count him as that important.

The Velvets tackled taboo topics like drug addiction, paranoia and sexual deviancy, according to their bio page on the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame site.

Rock mythology has it that even though they were around only for a few years, everyone who went to a Velvet Underground concert went out and started a band.
this is not even the right version of the myth

Now that album sounds terribly depressing.
