Velvet Underground: Difference between revisions

{{quote|'''Lou Reed''': The engineer said, "I don't have to ''listen'' to this. I'll put it in record, and then I'm ''leaving''. When you're done, come get me."}}

* [[Sex, Drugs and Rock and Roll]]: ''They're the Velvet Underground''.

* [[Shout-Out]]: "Sister Ray" is named after [[The Kinks|Ray Davies]].

* [[Silly Love Songs]]: Yeah, they have one. "I Found a Reason", to be precise.

{{quote|'''Lou Reed''': One chord is fine. Two chords... that's pushing it. Three chords and it's jazz.}}

*** Black Angel's Death Song? Avant-garde, maybe?

** And "Candy Says."

{{quote|'''[[Word of God|Lou Reed]]''':'Sister Ray' was done as a joke—no, not as a joke—but it has eight characters in it and this guy gets killed and nobody does anything. It was built around this story that I wrote about this scene of total debauchery and decay. I like to think of ‘Sister Ray' as a transvestite smack dealer. The situation is a bunch of [[Drag Queen|Drag Queens]] taking some sailors home with them, shooting up on smack and having this orgy when the police appear.}}

** "Sweet Jane". (''Jack is in his corset, Jane is in her vest...'')
