Ok. Had to get that out of the way first.)
The following videos may look familiar, but you sure didn't see them on You Tube! They didn't allow them.
I made them last year, only to be crushed by copyright law upon upload.
So, I think I put them on Facebook, which really isn't ideal.
Vimeo, (for now at least) is wicked cool and doesn't flip out if I use 3 seconds of a song.
So here. This is a two part series all about the cultural and musical parallels in the lives of Lou Reed and Jerry Garcia. Neither of whom I can say I love unconditionally, but both of whom I can say have meant a great great deal in my life. Enjoy.
Part One: A Tale of Two Warlocks: The Velvets and The Dead-1965-70.
