no idea, but John Cale still works very hard for someone in their mid 60,s so maybe he,s not so well off.

The exhibition is superb, it underlines just how influential Warhol is, to the imagination of the age. A truly visionary artist.
Playing with the silver cloud balloons was certainly a dreamlike Velvets moment. Dont miss it if you have a chance.

I will go this week to Warhol, Edinburgh is the best city in the world during the festival.
My band will play during the last week of the festival, come along if you are in Edinburgh

Yes Lou was surprisingly genial in the interview, but it wasnt just the makeup, Lou likes it when the interviewer is positive about his music as well as informed.
The band sounded great, but Lous vocals were terribly poor, he never was Pavarotti, but croaking was about as good as it got on this show.

Well,opinions are like arseholes everone has one
You might keep in mind that John Cale (you might remember him)said he thought the record was a masterpiece, so "dire" might be a bit extreme non?

Im listening to "The End" right now, arguably the greatest solo record by any member of the Velvet Underground, and in many ways the closest to the experimental ideals of their early period. It still sounds quite magnificent 33 years later.

seems to work again, looks like AOL saving bandwidth

Disco Mystic,hmmmmmmmm I like that one, I actually remember hearing it in a glitter ball disco circa 1980. I'm a bit more of a Sally Cant Dance guy myself, I really love that record, its a totally misunderstood sleaze masterpiece in my opinion,I fantasise about Nico singing New York Stars, with Mo's...

The definitive Velvets recording, Discuss
