    That's Great! The 2 times I met him I couldn't get a response out of him. Don't forget his parents had him "Zapped" to try and cure his bi-sexuality, maybe your friend reminded him of his Dad.

    I knew he was "different" but was not aware of his having had ECT... I was not a huge fan but I very much appreciate his contribution to music.

    Ahhhh the sixties... I envision myself one early Saturday morning wearing plaid shorts, black shoes with white socks smoking a cigarette heading to the hardware store to buy a bag of nails.
    SWB cars are an acquired taste however once acquired theirs no turning back.

    Agree with that.

    I loved Lou's "New York" album the best.

    But is it Art?

    Rockers, Punkers, Glammers --- Gay or Straight . . . or a little o' both . . .

    . . . or a Lot . . .

    For me --- for a lotta people . . . Reed defined the Wild Side

    The Body's gone . . . but not the music --- or The Fury


    And what a way to get even . . . . . . with the world

    .........

    I once saw the junkies 3 or 4 times within a few months. What a band. They have truly built their craft and skills.
