The one thing that stuck with me from the Bockris book was Nico saying to Reed, "I cannot make love to Jews anymore."

Yeah, I always think of that, wonder if it applied to Dylan as well.

Also there is another line about Reporter: When’s the last time you saw Lou Reed?Nico: I don’t hang out in gay bars

Yes, it's obviously about Dylan too (xp)

I always liked Mitch Ryder's version of "Rock and Roll" and the Feelies' cover of "What Goes On", probably because I heard them well before I ever heard the originals. (I can say the same for Big Star's "Femme Fatale.")

I'll second the Feelies take of "What Goes On"
― doug watson, Tuesday, 31 December 2019 13:57 (six years ago)
the ones that comes to mind are the dils' "what goes on" and a version of "waiting for the man" by a band called "zoobombs"
i'm sure there are plenty more but i can't think of them right now

The Modern Lovers: "OK we're gonna do 2 more songs before our first break, and they're both for people who like to dance fast. Now the first one is one that we didn't write, it's one that the Velvet Underground wrote and never released. So you've never heard this one before. We like to do this as a tribute to the Velvet Underground. We all saw them a lot back east. And this is a song we hope you like. It's called 'Foggy Notion.'"
Also really like the Cruel Sea's take on "Cool it Down":

'Ennui' on the SALLY CAN'T DANCE LP. Strikingly good: mellow, subtle, expansive - with that kind of gentleness that he occasionally offered, as on 'Coney Island Baby'.
