Oh shit, now I'm crying.

Tzara said:"The famous saying about the Velvet Underground, the unofficial band of Andy Warhol's 'Factory,' is that only a handful of people ever saw them perform, but all those people went home and started bands."
It probably took me thirty years, but I finally got what the VU was doing. I'm feelin' kind of New Yawkish today, so let's cue up a tune or two, eh? Sweet Jane oughtta do, I think.
OK. This version is obviously off some kind of reunion tour. If you can get past the idea of the VU doing a frickin' reunion tour without that making you rather sick, it's kinda fun. You do have to love Mo playing her bass drum like a really really big tom-tom and what's with that headstockless guitar Lou's playing? ZZ Top uses those also. How do you tune the damn things?
Hey. You ever see the old SNL skit about "What if Napoleon had had a B-52 at the Battle of Waterloo?" Probably not. No matter.
Anyway, here's my pick for Best Video in the category of What If the Velvet Underground Had Actually Been a Grateful Dead-inspired Jam Band from Vermont Who Has Its Own Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream Flavor?
It's more profound when you're stoned. Trust me.
And, finally, my favorite version, manifested as a Seconal-drenched lullaby by Canada's Cowboy Junkies. Ah, Margo Timmins! I have a major urge to sit alongside you on the banks of Owen Sound reciting poems from Les fleurs du mal (in the orignal French, naturellement), clinking glasses of Pernod, and staring dreamily at your awesome cheekbones. I'll even turn the treble on my amp way way way down, if you will but deign to kiss me.

I just noticed another line in Theodor's book, and am now really wondering. DoChicks with bricks come[,]Should I be concerned that this smut is freely available in our elementary school libraries? Or should I file the information away and start striking up conversations with women holding clocks and bricks?

--called "Top Five." Who are the top five rock musicians, top five bands, top five ice cream flavors, you get the idea. I suppose it's what happens when two poets hang out together endlessly. We both put Lou Reed in our top five rock musician list, and though this clip isn't really rock (cause I couldn't find Andy Warhol's Dream, which I love), it's a great and very poetic song brought to you by those two happy minstrels Lou Reed and John Cale from Reed's excellent "Songs for Drella" cycle.
