Lou Reed on Andy Warhol and Valerie Solanas 

Lou was angry Valerie Solanas was only sentenced to 3 years. He said in an interview with John Wilcock "Andy's gone through the most incredible suffering, they let her off with 3 years. You get more for stealing a car".

Big fan of Lou, but Warhol was a horrible and disgusting person. Not saying he deserved the bullet, but there were reasons.

Lou used the word “protector“ to describe Andy shielding the band from outside influence.

About 20 years ago there was a song called "All Tomorrow's Parties" playing on the Muzak radio system we had tor the restaurant I was bartending at. Both my coworker and I didn't know who the artist was but guessed it was a Goth band from about 1990. We were both shocked to learn it was The VU and that we were off on the timeline by 23 years. Talk about "ahead of their time"!

he was a producer. 🥲 "He was great at making things happen."

wow. nice to see lou speaking so candidly.

what a deep voice

Fascinating!

“I was delighted. “

Great interview

That first record would not have been able to get made without Andy
