Have you heard 'Hudson River Wind Meditations'?

I have nothing against GD. I don't know their music at all. I was only trying to say that Garcia represents the majority of what the Boomer generation relates to, and Grateful Dead is synonymous with flower power and acid rock. The Velvets were a different animal and were embraced more by later generations. Since we…

My bad. *knocks on wood* If we lose her this week, feel free to blame me.

But isn't that so "Lou" of him, though?

And Maureen Tucker, I believe.. sigh.

Garcia personified that idea of hippie paradise, peace n love 60s.. VU were kind of the antithesis of that, and thus don't fit into the boomer nostalgia bull. That being said, VU and Reed will outlive them all. How many great musicians namecheck the Dead? And not only that, but you still suck :)

Candy Says or Pale Blues Eyes or fuck there are too many, so many brilliant songs he wrote that reached my core.

I discovered VU after high school. Luckily or unfortunately.

He did well with a job nobody would admire. 400 pages would not be enough to do Lou justice.

Possibly buying his guitar.

I've never heard Squeeze for the same reason I never listened to those Doors albums with no Jim. I'm afraid it would be like seeing my most beloved crush topless only to find she is covered with horrendous boils.

But perhaps Lou's power would become a part of YOU.

My dad likes polka and my mother likes Air Supply. You can imagine what our road trips were like.

Where the heck did you find that?

technically, Lou wrote about transgendered people, not transvestites.

It's everything Merzbow wishes he could do. God, I hope nobody ever changes that.

Bangs will be playing Suicide records. Dick move, if you ask me.

Fixed it!

Heroin cookies?

Listening to it now, loud as hell on earphones, for like the 100th time.
