Re: "Todd Haynes Quarantined with His Editor to Finish His Queer Velvet Underground Doc"
Right, Sister Ray. In the same way as that song it’s not spelled out but I take Lady Godiva as a pretty obvious drag persona just based on the name. And there is a history of subjecting queer or otherwise different people to harsh psychiatric punishments. Lonesome Cowboy feels campy based on the voc...

Re: "Todd Haynes Quarantined with His Editor to Finish His Queer Velvet Underground Doc"
It's weird, but despite the Factory connection, I never get any real sense of queerness from the VU or their music. So I wonder what is in store from this documentary. Really? There's Candy Says about the gender dysphoria of Candy Darling, Lady Godiva's Operation about a transvestite/transexual lob...

Re: Magic and Loss is about Rachel, isn't it?

" Lou & Rachel had a couple dogs in the 70s, they are see...

Re: Magic and Loss is about Rachel, isn't it?
I totally agree they are about Rachel, I've put this theory forward on various forums myself.

Re: NYPL Archive
Next couple years... the last thing I want to do right now is wait a long time. In fact, now is the perfect time to release it all online. But that is good news that it will eventually be more widely available, thanks for checking!
