Velvet Underground was beyond repair the minute they signed with Andy Warhol
. Some people say that Warhol helped destroy values of society. "Art, Film Director, Designer, Producer, etc". What do I say? Its a long story, and each individual has to express their own separate, and different opinion concerning the life of (Warhol). I do know, that Warhol and the Underground were one of the first bands to pioneer multimedia.

No one on the boardwalk, the beach, in the water, or on the street that paralleled the boardwalk. It felt like a scene from a sci-fi movie. We decided all of the action must be north of the point. But that turned out to be as desolate as the south end.
Totally perplexed, we wandered into a bar called The Red Lion, and the entire town was in there. A band was set up behind the bar playing Steely Dan's "Reelin' in the Years." Since then, every time I hear that song I picture myself walking through the door to that bar.

That would be awesome catching Reelin' In The Years being covered by a Local Circuit Band.
