More good old stuff
Lou Reed stole that black t-shirt thing from me. This is not a bad version of the song. I once had a girlfriend who wouldn't listen to anything other than the original studio Velvet Underground version. I played another version, and Tonia said, "Isn't this one of Lou Reed's pathetic 70s bands?" I'm glad I didn't play her the Mott the Hoople version. Or the soporific, somnabulant, Quaaludes-induced Cowboy Junkies version, which will depress you if you weren't already.
Here's Patti Smith doing Bruce's song:
Here's Bruce doing the same song:
Speaking of soporific covers:
A mulatto. An albino. A mosquito. My libido.
Um yeah.
Here's the original. You never hear this song on the radio :)
More Patti, which includes a nude picture of her by Robert Mapplethorpe:
