Absolutely...Velvet Underground...they never played them on the radio in the 60's, at least I don't remember. 40 or so years later and my sons love "Walk On The Wild Side"....

Very interesting cat. Enjoyed some of his interviews and the insights provided therein as much as I enjoyed his music (and I did enjoy his music).

What a great quote. VU's "Loaded" is one of my favorite albums of all time. I can't tell you how many times I've listened to it start to finish. He will be missed.
