0133 — The Velvet Underground (Patreon)

Huge number of extra panels and outtakes in the B-roll strip that posts two hours after this one in tiers 2 & 3! Bump up a tier this month and see the hundreds of other pieces for just a few dollars more!

I once overheard a couple "dudes of albums" get into a heated agreement about the transcendental majesty of The Velvet Underground. There I sat in my Portland coffeehouse chair late one evening, trying to put two brain cells together for a Portland Mercury column about fried chicken, intellectually squirming and grimacing inwardly as these two recent strangers fanned one another's flames to neutron star levels of incandescent insipidity.

It was declared and seconded that without the "genius" of Lou Reed, essentially no contemporary genres of music would have been possible, so I guess it's a great thing for us all that that asshole found a big pair of sunglasses and some dope and Jesus now I sound like Pat so I'm going to ask my wife what I'm actually mad about, probably this load-bearing wall we found in the house that seems to be buckling or me turning fifty or something
